Abstract
Four different mitigation devices can be installed by the students in the second floor of a two storey building mode. Also a coulumb friction damper is installed between base and first floor. The time response can be recorded using a smartphone. The structure is moved from its equilibrium position and then released. The performance of each device is evaluated in terms of the time free oscillations take to return to rest (with acceleration within a band of 1.43%). The considered devices are: tuned mass damper pendulum type, tuned liquid column damper [1], tuned liquid sloshing damper [2], tuned mass damper flexural type and sliding Coulomb friction damper.
