EARTHQUAKE
RESISTANT
STRUCTURES A CASE
STUDY
TAIPEI 101
Taiwan's former king of skyscrapers needed
some large-scale engineering to withstand the
country's frequent earthquakes and typhoons
not to mention sitting near a huge fault line. The
solution came in the form of a 730-ton ball of
steel which hangs inside it like a gigantic
pendulum to counteract any swaying. Known asa tuned mass damper, the ball rests inside a
sling made of steel cables and has its own shock
absorbers. That should help ensure Taipei 101
can stand proud for a long while to come, even if
it lost its crown as world's tallest building to the
Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010.
