Abstract
For the purpose of reducing the uncomfortable sway motion of high-rise buildings, induced by comparatively strong winds, a tuned active damp er (TAD) equipped with a new mechanism has been developed, and install ed in the Yokohama Landmark Tower. Through analysis and model tests, t he effectiveness, practicality and safety of TAD have been confirmed.
