The stochastic seismic performance of tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) for the passive control of flexible structures is investigated using random vibration analysis. A nonstationary stochastic process with frequency and amplitude modulation is used to represent the earthquake strong motion and an equivalent linearization technique is used to account for the nonlinear damping force in the TLCD. A parametric study and sensitivity analysis are conducted to identify critical design parameters and to assess the TLCD system performance.
