Full-scale measurements of wind-induced responses on the Hamamatsu ACT Tower

摘要

In Japan, most high-rise buildings are equipped with vibration control devices in order to improve their habitability by reducing wind-induced vibration. The Hamamatsu ACT Tower is also equipped with active type vibration control devices. For the purpose of confirming the vibration control effects of these devices, observations of winds and vibrations have been carried out. This paper reports on the vibration control effects of the devices on wind-induced vibration, as well as the results obtained from observations of vibration responses of the building during strong seasonal winds and a typhoon.
