INSIGHTS | How Long-Term Structural Monitoring Proves Tuned Mass Damper Effectiveness
When it comes to skyscrapers, wind can have an intense effect on the top levels of a super tall, slender building. Strong winds can cause the building to sway, increasing the discomfort of tenants who live on the higher floors. Mitigating the wind-induced motion of a super tall building is crucial, as it can increase occupant comfort as a result and improve overall building performance. Building project teams use a device called a tuned mass damper (TMD) to reduce motion. Ho
