Summary
This paper reports on the structural design of a 37-storey high-rise building that
contains conference rooms (2nd to 5th floors), offices (6th to 37th floors), and
residences (6th to 12th floors), with a maximum height of 200 m and a total floor
area of 175,000 meters squared. The building incorporates a newly developed seismic control
device: a tuned viscous mass damper. In this study, we searched for an effectively
controlled structure subject to all the design criteria and found that a tuned viscous
mass damper would be effective; we investigated the application of this device and
its design theory to our project. We confirmed that the most effective method to
ensure high performance of the seismic vibration control system was to tune the
tuned viscous mass dampers to the first fundamental mode and install each one
across three consecutive storeys in the transverse direction of the building, which
has lower horizontal stiffness. This approach kept the cost low and the energy
absorbing capacity high.
