Employing tilted forms in tall buildings is a relatively new architectural phenomenon, as are the cases with the Gate of Europe Towers in Madrid and the Veer Towers in Las Vegas. This paper studies structural system design options for tilted tall buildings and their performances. Tilted tall buildings are designed with various structural systems, such as braced tubes, diagrids and outrigger systems, and their structural performances are studied. Structural design of today's tall buildings built with higher strength materials is generally governed by lateral stiffness. Tilted towers are deformed laterally not only by lateral loads but also by dead and live loads due to their eccentricity. The impact of tilting tall buildings on the gravity and lateral load resisting systems is studied. Comparative evaluation of structural systems for tilted tall buildings is presented.

Today's architectural design trend based on the recognition of pluralism has led to multiple design directions for all building types including tall buildings. This contemporary design trend has produced many complex-shaped tall buildings, such as twisted, tilted, tapered and freeform towers. Among many different structural systems developed for tall buildings, the diagrid system, with its powerful structural rationale and distinguished aesthetic potential, is one of the most widely used systems for today's tall buildings. This paper studies structural performance of diagrid systems employed for complex-shaped tall buildings. Twisted, tilted, tapered and freeform tall buildings are designed with diagrid structures, and their structural performances are investigated. For the twisted diagrid study, the buildings are twisted up to 3 degrees per floor. In the tilted diagrid study, the angles of tilting range from 0 to 13 degrees. The impact of eccentricity is investigated for gravity as well as lateral loads in tilted towers. In the study of tapered diagrid structures, the angles of tapering range from 0 to 3 degrees. In the study of freeform diagrid structures, lateral stiffness of freeform diagrids is evaluated depending on the degree of fluctuation of free form. The freeform floor plans fluctuate from plus/minus 1.5 meter to plus/minus 4.5 meter boundaries of the original square floor plan. Parametric structural models are generated using appropriate computer programs and the models are exported to structural engineering software for design, analyses and comparative studies.

Today's architecture can be best understood only through the recognition of pluralism, and, as is true of other building types, multiple design directions are prevalent for tall buildings. This contemporary design trend has produced many complex-shaped tall buildings, such as twisted, tilted and tapered form towers. Among many different structural systems developed for tall buildings, the outrigger system, with its inherent structural efficiency and flexibility in façade design, is widely used for contemporary tall buildings. This paper studies structural performance of outrigger systems employed for complex-shaped tall buildings. Twisted, tilted and tapered tall buildings are designed with outrigger structures, and their structural performance is investigated. For the twisted outrigger study, the buildings are twisted up to 3 degrees per floor. In the tilted outrigger study, the angles of tilting range from 0 to 13 degrees. The impact of eccentricity is investigated for gravity as well as lateral loads in tilted towers. In the study of tapered outrigger structures, the angles of tapering range from 0 to 3 degrees. Parametric structural models are generated using appropriate computer programs for these studies, and the models are exported to structural engineering software for design and analyses.

근래에 들어와서 3T (Twisted, Tapered, Tilted)로 대별되는 비정형 초고층 건축물이 다수 계획되고 있다. 이러한 비정형 초고층 건물을 위해서 구조적인 효율성 및 조형성 때문에 다이어그리드 구조시스템이 현재까지 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 구조시스템 중의 하나이다. 건축적인 조형미 등의 이유로 경사진 비정형 초고층 건물에 대한 계획안이 다수 발표되고 있으며 다수의 구조물들이 다이어그리드 구조시스템을 활용하고 있다. 경사진 비정형 초고층 건물은 횡하중뿐만 아니라 자중에 의해서도 횡방향 변위가 발생한다. 따라서 정형적인 초고층 건물보다 횡방향 응답을 저감시카는 젓이 더 중요한 문제로 대두된다. 본 연구에서는 경사진 다이어그리드 비정형 초고층 건물의 지진응답을 저감시키기 위하여 스마트 TMD를 적용하였고 그 제어성능을 평가하였다. 스마트 TMD를 구성하기 위하여 MR 감쇠기를 사용하였으며 스마트 TMD는 그라운드훅 제어알고리즘을 사용하여 제어하였다. 100 층의 예제구조물에 대하여 제어를 하지 않은 경우와, 일반적인 TMD를 사용한 경우, 그리고 스마트 TMD를 사용하여 제어한 경우를 비교 검토하였다. 수지해석결과 스마트 TMD가 변위 응답 제어에는 우수한 성능을 나타냈지만 가속도응답제어에는 효과적이지 못했다.
