Current innovative lateral load carrying systems for tall buildings are those in which the lateral drift is limited to an allowable value without considerable influence on economy. This aim is achieved by using special systems capable of using maximum stiffness and strength capacity of individual structural elements. An effective structural solution in this respect is the use of outrigger brace...

This research was conducted by combining two structural systems: post-tensioned core walls and an outrigger in a 40-story building. A Vierendeel system applied to one stories, comparison between models performed determine the best locations. In addition, effect of at only 25 % building height investigated. Subsequently, positions were with bonded post-tension %. The results showed improvement l...

Abstract This paper presents the development of outrigger structural system from conventional to damped concepts. Outrigger conservative design as a rigid connection virtual with passive control, active control system, semi-active hybrid is deliberated. Following brief overviews on history outriggers, types outrigger, analysis tall buildings without formulation equations for structure simplify ...

A stiffness-based method for the preliminary design of outrigger braced skyscrapers is proposed. The founded on concept uniform distribution deformation. This approach originates from minimum-compliance optimization, in which stiffest layout structure sought a given amount material. Design variables include: flexural stiffness core structure, outrigger-belt elevation, and peripheral column dime...

Our epigraph indicates that contemporary Pacific Island peoples make metaphoric use of canoes, but this is an old phenomenon. Maori tribes were loosely confederated into groups they called "canoes" and named for the vessels on which their mythical ancestors were said to have migrated to New Zealand (Firth 1929:115-116; see also 90). Yapese spoke of marriageable women as "navigators of canoes" i...
