    Hello Everyone!

     I am thinking to start research about Outrigger and Tune mass damper system in controlling the structural vibration control, I need you kind counseling in this regard, what is your opinion?
     Thanks

    At first, you need to select the material.  Since aluminum is ductile and lighter in weight, it could be a good option to choose. For mass damper, you would need to use sheets as your main component in the system. For brace, you may want to customize the sheets to smaller stirrups but stiffer in thickness. For both system, don't use weld at your connection, use bolts.......
