Response of bridges without and with PTMD.
| | Span (m) | Structural response | Peak value | Decrease rate (%) | | No control | PTMD |
| | 80 (side span) | Midspan displacement (cm) | −0.19 | −0.16 | 15.8 | | 120 (midspan) | Midspan displacement (cm) | −0.45 | −0.34 | 24.4 | | 120 (side span) | Midspan displacement (cm) | −0.53 | −0.34 | 35.8 |
