On the Design of High-Rise Buildings for Multihazard: Fundamental Differences between Wind and Earthquake Demand

Figure 20

Proposed configuration of the MR dampers with bracing system: (a) bracings with dampers between adjacent floors for shear buildings; (b) outer bracings with dampers for cantilever and slender buildings; (c) damping unit consisting of a viscous damper, helical spring, and a lever mechanism for drift amplification across the damper.
