23. BEB801: Report 2-A, Jonathan Park - 10/06/2016
Wind
› Creates large base
overturning moment and base
shear
› Creates large amounts of
deflection in the wind
direction and also crosswind
due to vortex shredding
› Vortex shredding creates low
frequency of oscillation (may
not be the first mode)
› Requires stiff structure with
mass dampers
Seismic
› Creates large accelerations
of the structure
› Creates shear forces where
there is high weight (each
storey)
› Creates high frequency of
vibration throughout the
structure
› May cause resonance
› Requires ductile structure
with dampers at ground level
and throughout the structure
25. Advances throughout history
Current systems for wind
› Structural Bracing system
› Dampers
Tuned mass dampers
Tuned liquid dampers
› Stiffness
› Aerodynamic shape
BEB801: Report 2-A, Jonathan Park - 10/06/2016
Current systems for seismic
› Stiffness
› Dampers
› Elevation control
› Plastic hinges
› Structural isolation
27. More than one lateral resistance
system
Most suitable systems based on
the previous criteria
Combined restraining systems
› Structural framing system
› Mass damping for serviceability
› Damping for vibration control
› Structural Isolation

31. Final designs consists of multiple systems.
Different methods of achieving combined lateral restraint
Structural isolation coupled with stiff structure and
seismic dampers
Flexible structure with seismic dampers and highly
designed tuned mass damper
Extreme optimisation of aerodynamic shape and
seismic dampers
BEB801: Report 2-A, Jonathan Park - 10/06/2016
33. Related to this study
There are a large amount of variables when designing
against lateral loading but will be presented once a
project comes into fruition
Related to lateral loading and response
The site conditions play a key part in the lateral loading
and response
Related to lateral restraint systems
Lateral bracing is almost unavoidable and therefore a
stiffness of a structure cannot be adapted. Therefore
dampers are more important form of vibration control
A combined system although is highly possible and
feasible, may not be required due to likelihood of more
than on loading is dominate
BEB801: Report 2-A, Jonathan Park - 10/06/2016
34. The understanding and mitigation of lateral loading is
vital for the design of any building
A combined system if designed properly may
significantly reduce financial aspect
Optimisation of the aerodynamic shape and the proper
use of dampers are the most useful when mitigating
lateral loading
the possibility of the proper design and use of a
combined system in a high-rise structure to counteract
both wind and seismic is high and may be required in
areas where lateral loading cases are extreme
