Fused into mass timber panels, beams, and columns, its relative light weight and great strength make it a competitive choice for building tall, reducing on-site assembly time, construction personnel, and associated costs, while offering the precision that comes with prefabrication. The aesthetic appeal of exposed timber drives psychological and physiological well-being, which can also translate into lease and sale premiums.

A new chapter examines “hybrid” outrigger systems that can tune outrigger-truss stiffness, leverage outrigger arms to drive non-linear damping devices, and use yielding materials to absorb seismic energy. Several in-depth project examples illustrate the role of outrigger systems in tall building design and suggest ideas for future applications, demonstrating how the technology continues to advance the efficiency and stability of tall buildings worldwide. The updated edition expands system organization and examples, reflects current design practices, and provides revised recommendations and directions for future research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrincipal Author: Hi Sun Choi, Goman Ho, Leonard Joseph \u0026amp; Neville Mathias\u003cbr\u003eCoordinating Editor: Jason Gabel\u003cbr\u003eLayout: Kristen Dobbins\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Chicago\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2017\u003cbr\u003eType: Softcover\u003cbr\u003ePages: 104\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 8.5\"W x 11\"H\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-864707-28-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47848459239575,"sku":"ODHRB2","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7229\/5575\/files\/464.jpg?v=1779915517"},{"product_id":"green-walls-in-high-rise-buildings","title":"Green Walls in High-Rise Buildings","description":"\u003cp\u003eCities are experiencing unprecedented growth, and the horizontal suburban development model is increasingly seen as unsustainable; with limited land remaining, building upward has become a logical solution, but any strategy for greater height and density must still meet the fundamental human need for access to greenery.
