Advanced Construction Material
Hybrid Outrigger System with Structural Fuse for Tall Buildings
Type Of Technology: Others
Origin: Asia, Europe, Hong Kong and Mainland China
Hybrid outrigger system consists of concrete walls (adjacent to cores), steel bracings and structural fuses (suitable to dissipate seismic energy during an earthquake). This 'fuse' component can dissipate the seismic energy in case of intense seismic shaking, in order to protect other components of the outrigger system, ensuring the safety of the whole tower.
Benefits
.Reduce steel consumption
.Shorten construction time
.Reduce construction cost
Applications
.High-rise building projects in moderately seismic active regions
