Entuitive Tall Buildings TALL BUILDINGS HIGH PERFORMANCE ENTUITIVE IS COLLABORATING WITH DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS TO DESIGN AND ENGINEER HIGH PERFORMANCE TALL BUILDINGS THAT ARE DEFINING CITY SKYLINES Urban centres around the globe are experiencing unprecedented growth. With limited land resources, cities are increasingly building towers – both for commercial and residential developments. Entuitive’s Tall Buildings team consists of structural engineers, building envelope specialists and technologists with decades of experience in delivering high-rise buildings through innovative and value driven solutions. DELIVERING VALUE It’s our ambition to help clients realize the best performing buildings that support their vision and commercial objectives. Through a holistic, integrated and highly collaborative approach, we draw on the wide-range of expertise wielded by Entuitive’s professionals to develop advanced structural and envelope solutions that deliver multiple dimensions of building performance with greater life-cycle economies. OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE With extensive experience in tall buildings, deep knowledge of the latest building materials and construction methods, and sophisticated modeling techniques, our engineers and building envelope specialists focusing on solutions that enhance building performance. We strive to deliver a high degree of occupant comfort by mitigating the effects of wind-induced vibration. Our designs consider building resilience to natural and man-made events including seismic, extreme weather and blast. And we consistently optimize our structural and envelope solutions with an eye to improving efficiency at every stage while minimizing costs. AN ADVANCED APPROACH We use BIM and the latest technologies to enhance collaboration and coordination in order to deliver projects on-time and on- budget. We also go beyond BIM and utilize computational design and parametric modelling to assist architects in unleashing their creativity while optimizing the building structure – affording greater constructability, cost-savings and reduced time to market. CHALLENGING URBAN SITES SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Urban sites are becoming increasingly Sustainability is a process, not an add-on challenging for development when dealing – working smartly and efficiently means with issues that include proximity to rail, minimizing waste and using innovative transit or aging infrastructure, small site materials and technologies, all toward cost footprint, adjacency to busy city streets and savings for our clients. Our LEED® accredited existing utilities, and difficult excavation staff are committed to a structural and conditions. We have extensive experience envelope design process that uses materials developing innovative solutions to and resources wisely, meeting project overcome these urban challenges with needs with reduced-waste impact on our multi-disciplinary capability. the environment.

This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

    Tenth U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering 1210NCE Frontiers of Earthquake Engineering IMPROVING THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF DIAGRID STEEL STRUCTURES USING FRICTION MASS DAMPER Garlan Ramadhan1 and André R. Barbosa2 ABSTRACT The steel diagrid structural system is a recent load bearing and lateral resisting structural system for tall building structures that is relatively unexplored in the western United States. One possible reason for the little use of diagrid systems in earthquake prone regions is the lack of guidelines and application examples illustrating the design and analysis of these structures. In this work, a prototype building with 72 stories is used as an example for which the design and analysis of the diagrid system is performed. Friction mass dampers are provided at the top of the building to mitigate the possible large displacement and base shear demands that these structures may undergo under seismic events. Using a nonlinear finite element model of the mass damper, which is connected to a linear model of the building structure, the effectiveness of the friction mass damper system is studied. The mass damper system consists of an additional concrete tank containing sand or water. The tank is placed in between the building reinforce concrete structural core and the exterior steel diagrid system. This mass damper is connected to the structure using friction pendulum system (FPS) isolators, which are chosen due to their ability to undergo large deformations. Parametric studies are carried out to optimize the mass damper design. Optimization of the seismic performance is assessed in terms of minimization of displacements, base shear, and floor accelerations.
