About this document
Damped Outriggers Design Guide by Mai Kawayapanik is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Damped Outriggers Design Guide outlines the use of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) in tall buildings to mitigate wind effects by increasing damping from 0.5%-1.5% to 5%-10% of critical, significantly reducing overturning moments and floor accelerations. It includes a case study of 250 W. 55th Street in New York City, demonstrating the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of damped outriggers compared to traditional methods. The document also discusses preliminary methods for estimating damper properties and t
