Imperial and Arup Design Damped Pagoda Floors to Stabilize Skyscrapers

TechXplore Engineering reports that researchers have developed a structural method to mitigate tower sway by decoupling upper floors from a building's central core. By connecting these levels with springs and bearings, the team uses the structure's own mass to absorb energy durin
