Abstract

See full text

A vibration control apparatus is installed in a high-rise building. The vibration control apparatus 10 comprises an added mass member 20 having a predetermined mass, a column 22 for placing the added mass member 20 separated from the high-rise building, a vibration damping member 24 in contact with the column 22 and installation member 26. The natural frequency of the vibration control apparatus 10 is adapted to be substantially equal to the natural frequency of the high-rise building. At the time of earthquake, the vibration control apparatus and the high-rise building produce resonance, and the vibration energy of the column 22 is absorbed in the vibration damping member 24.
