Abstract
Research and development of a new type of high-damping rubber damper for high-rise buildings/structures to mitigate earthquake or wind-induced structural response is described in this paper. Tall buildings/structures can undergo excessive structural deflexions, at their resonant frequencies, due to excitation from strong earthquake motion or wind effects. Also, for weak earthquakes, which occur several times a year in Japan, or for weak wind, it is considered that the structural aseismic comfort will be strongly needed in the near future. The high-damping rubber damper developed in this study dissipates energy sufficiently, and the responses of the building are significantly reduced.
