Abstract.In the past decades, much effort has been made towards the study of single-mode-basedvibration controls with dynamic energy absorbers such as single or multiple Tuned Mass Dampers(TMDs). With the increase of bridge span length and the tendency of the bridge cross-section being moreslender and streamlined, multi-mode coupled vibrations as well as their controls have become veryimportant for large bridges susceptible to strong winds. As a simple but effective device, the TMD systemespecially the semi-active one has become a promising option for such coupled vibration controls.However, despite various studies of optimal controls of single-mode-based vibrations with TMDs, researchon the corresponding controls of the multi-mode coupled vibrations is very rare so far. For the development ofa semi-active control strategy to suppress the multi-mode coupled vibrations, a comprehensive parametricanalysis on the optimal variables of this control is substantial. In the present study, a multi-mode controlstrategy named “three-row” TMD system is discussed and the general numerical equations are developedat first. Then a parametric study on the optimal control variables for the “three-row” TMD system isconducted for a prototype Humen Suspension Bridge, through which some useful information and a betterunderstanding of the optimal control variables to suppress the coupled vibrations are obtained. Thisinformation lays a foundation for the design of semi-active control.Keywords:buffeting; tuned mass damper; mode coupling; long-span bridge; control.
