PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC AND WIND ENGINEERING FOR 60 STORY TWIN TOWERS IN MANILA

The 14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering
October 12-17, 2008, Beijing, China
M.R. Willford and R.J. Smith

This paper describes the structural design of two similar 60 storey towers in Manila using performance based
procedures for seismic and wind actions. High-rise buildings designed by performance based methods not only
perform better than conventionally designed ones, but are also less expensive to construct. The buildings
incorporate the Arup Damped Outrigger System, and the savings realized by this are discussed.
