Lateral structural stiffness is one of many concerns in the design of tall structures. Conventionally, an obvious solution is to provide rigid outriggers to increase lateral stiffness by coupling the core walls and exterior mega columns to reduce inter-story drift induced by lateral loads. However, under seismic action, stiffer structures will generally increase base shear demand on the superstructure as well as substructures, which might increase material usage. As the dynamic response is predominant in tall structures, damped outriggers are provided to increase the structural damping ratio with marginal effects on structural static properties. The increase in damping ratio can lead to a decrease in seismic-induced inter-story drift and superstructure strength demand, which can reduce overall structural cost. In this study, a pressure-adjustment fluid viscous damper (PA-FVD) is introduced, and the optimization of an office hybrid structure with outriggers equipped with PA-FVDs is conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Redundancy-Data-Based Automated Integrated Optimization on structural performance and cost.

摘要

Lateral structural stiffness is one of many concerns in the design of tall structures. Conventionally, an obvious solution is to provide rigid outriggers to increase lateral stiffness by coupling the core walls and exterior mega columns to reduce inter-story drift induced by lateral loads. However, under seismic action, stiffer structures will generally increase base shear demand on the superstructure as well as substructures, which might increase material usage. As the dynamic response is predominant in tall structures, damped outriggers are provided to increase the structural damping ratio with marginal effects on structural static properties. The increase in damping ratio can lead to a decrease in seismic-induced inter-story drift and superstructure strength demand, which can reduce overall structural cost. In this study, a pressure-adjustment fluid viscous damper (PA-FVD) is introduced, and the optimization of an office hybrid structure with outriggers equipped with PA-FVDs is conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of Redundancy-Data-Based Automated Integrated Optimization on structural performance and cost.
