Why are outriggers used?
Typical Reasons:
Architectural expression
Reduce lateral drift
Reduce overturning moment
Reduce foundation demand
Allows more slender core more saleable area
New Reasons:
Better seismic performance
Supplemental energy dissipation / damping

Research Objectives
Evaluate the performance of conventional and outrigger
buildings
Adapt performance-based design approach for outrigger systems
Verify performance-based design approach

Prototype Buildings
Survey of Vancouver’s Tallest Buildings
Ductile Shear Wall (R=5.6) and Ductile
Coupled Walls (R=6.8) in central
core
Diagonally reinforced coupling beams
Single slab span to perimeter columns
around core, many with PT slabs
Blade columns
1000 – 1500 m2 (9000 – 12000 ft2) floor
plates
30-60 stories (height 110-200 m)

Prototype Buildings
Assume a simple but typical Vancouver layout
Coupled walls / Ductile walls
Two C-shaped piers with diagonally-reinforced CBs
Perimeter columns around core
Outrigger in ductile wall direction
Automatically generated, analyzed, and designed using MATLAB +

Capacity Design
Choose a hierarchy of energy dissipating mechanisms (‘Fuses’)
Provide sufficient reserve strength to other components (‘Brittle Links’)
Ensure desired mechanism forms, even with uncertainty in demands, etc

Traditional Design Approach
1. Elastic analysis for code-
specified hazard level / demands
2. Choose a hierarchy
3. Design Mech. 1 for EQ forces
4. Calculate Mech. 1 Overstrength
5. Design ‘Brittle Links’
6. Design Mech. 2
7. Calculate Mech. 2 Overstrength
8. Design ‘Brittle Links’
9. … Plastic Hinge
Steel Fuse, BRB, etc.
Mech. 1
Mech. 2
The system collapse mechanism is enforced
But how is the performance? Can PBD provide improvements?

Ongoing…• More prototype designs of various configurations
• Comparison of outrigger and conventional buildings
• More advanced analysis
Next Steps…
• Adapt and implement performance-based design procedure
• Comparison of performance-based and traditional designs
