THE Seismic Solution

摘要

In addition to the above-noted technical advances, the building's structural design met the requirements of providing the greatest volume of space per vertical foot of height. All of these solutions made this building a great success, and it has been well received by the occupants and the surrounding community. Only by utilizing recent innovations such as upturned spandrels, slotted gussets, toggle-braced dampers, slotted-web moment connections and 3-D floor vibration analysis was it possible to design this highly complex project in the one of the most demanding engineering environments in the country.
