Seismic Resilience of High-Rise Buildings with Advanced Damping Systems

High-rise buildings in seismically active areas are subject to significant structural challenges during earthquakes, making it crucial to enhance their seismic resilience. The introduction of advanced damping systems offers a promising solution to mitigate the effects of seismic forces and improve the structural safety and comfort of occupants. This paper investigates the seismic resilience of high-rise buildings equipped with advanced damping systems, focusing on systems such as tuned mass dampers (TMD), viscous dampers, and friction dampers. The effectiveness of these systems in reducing lateral movements, improving building stability, and minimizing damage during earthquakes is explored. Additionally, the paper evaluates the design considerations, costs, and potential for scalability of these advanced damping systems. The proposed approach is shown to provide a significant improvement in the seismic performance of high-rise buildings, offering a safer and more efficient solution for earthquake-prone regions.
