Abstract
The author proposed a new seismic response control system using a block and tackle (hereinafter, referred to as a dynamic pulley damper system) developed especially for the high-rise buildings. The proposed system has a configuration where a damper is installed on the track of the cable-stayed wire, amplifying the amount of movement of the wire by using a movable pulley that increases the damping effect to reduce the vibration of a building. we apply this system to connect the core structure (parking tower) and the surrounding frame (housing part) of a high-rise building. This system aims to reduce the earthquake response of the building by the force of the damper attached to the core structure. To verify the effectiveness of this response control system, two types of shaking table tests were conducted; one is the large-scale shaking table test using a magnetic damper, an-other one is the small-scale shaking table test using a steel damper. The mathematical model of the dynamic pulley damper system to implement the frame analysis was developed and the results of simulation analysis are compared with the experiments.
Highlights
At the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the highrise buildings in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka swayed significantly and caused damage to non-structural elements such as deformation of fire protection walls and dropping of ceiling panels
To reduce building vibration during an earthquake, it has become popular in Japan to install vibration control devices such as oil dampers in high-rise buildings
Since the laterale-formation of the high-rise building contains the large ratio of flexural component in the up-per stories, the dampers cannot work effectively to reduce the response of the high-rise buildings
