In recent years, considerable attentions have been paid to research for the development of structural control devices, particularly focusing on the mitigation of wind and seismic’s effects. The use of water tanks at roof as resistant solutions, which are known as Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD), for high-rise buildings is considered in this paper. In the literature, TLD has shown significant advantages and can be one of excellent methods to control high-rise building’s vibration. Liquid storage tank is designed to achieve its natural frequency same as that of the building. As a result, the resonant phenomenon will occur and contribute to the building’s balance.

Besides using TLD to analyze the seismic resistance for high-rise buildings, this paper is also considered the interaction between the liquid and tank wall for with/without using water tank at roof as seismic resistance devices. Results showed that the maximum displacements at the top of buildings can be decreased from 50% to 80% and internal stresses are also reduced meaningfully.
