Taller and slimmer buildings need to withstand a variety of external forces which require different more novel structural solutions. Damping Technologies for Tall Buildings delivers insights into major damping technology and design procedures in order to construct safe, reliable and resilient tall buildings. Written by an international group of contributors, the book is based on the latest engineering research collected over the past thirty years. Covering both passive and active systems, Damping Technologies for Tall Buildings provides practical advice for the selection, design, installation and testing of damping systems. Richly illustrated with images and schematics, this book provides expert commentary on different damping systems, allowing for an accurate comparison between different device categories and gaining and understanding of their advantages and disadvantages, along with their economical and sustainability implications. Case studies are included to provide a direct understanding on what are the possible applications of each device category. Provides an expert guide to the selection and deployment of the various types of damping technologiesDrawn extensively on international experts and research projects representing the current state of the art design of damping technologies over the last two decadesIncludes 25+ real case studies be collected with very detailed information about damping design, installation, testing and any other building implication INDICE: Part 1: Need for Supplementary Damping Devices in Tall Buildings 1.
