In a fundamental parametric study the seismic performance of Tuned Mass Dampers(TMDs) is investigated. Earthquake excited vibration-prone structures are modeled as elastic single-degree-of-freedom oscillators and they are equipped with a single TMD. The TMD performance is assessed by means of response reduction coefficients, which are generated from the ratio of the structural response with and without TMD attached. It is found that TMDs are effective in reducing the dynamic response of seismic excited structures with light structural damping. The results of the presented study are based on a set of 40 recorded ordinary ground motions
