Torre Mayor: Seismic Design Insights by shreya sahnan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Torre Mayor in Mexico City is a 225m tall skyscraper designed to withstand earthquakes in a high seismic risk zone. It uses 98 fluid viscous dampers, including 24 large dampers rated at 570 tonnes and 74 smaller dampers rated at 280 tonnes.
