122. ‘Necessity is the Mother of Invention’ How challenges for The Artise turned into willingness to create something new
The Artise utilized a one-of-a-kind structural system aimed to solve several design challenges at once and, consequently, resulted in at least 25% material savings compared to what’s traditionally required for an office building of comparable size and materials. By using buckling restrained braces and fluid viscous dampers that skip floors, and a moment frame sub system in between brace points, the lateral resisting footprint was spread out and the pieces minimized. This reduced demands on the superstructure and the foundations. Further, by eliminating all lateral framing below grade, the design saved even more on cost.
121. Prescriptive Design of Damped Moment Frames
A new building design procedure using dampers has been developed, validated, and published with certification from the International Code Council. This new design procedure opens the door for more damper applications in new steel structures by eliminating the requirements for nonlinear response spectrum analysis and peer review in damped buildings.
120. Improving structural performance of an existing EBF and moment frame structure using fluid viscous dampers
Improving the performance of existing buildings is a critical function for engineers and one of the most impactful ways we can improve the sustainability of building structures. By re-using and upgrading existing building stock, we help to extend the usable life of structures that otherwise would pose safety risks to our communities.
