日本竹中工务会社应用振动子(摆)的原理,研制用来减缓强风时高层大厦摇摆的制振装置获得成功。这种取名为“振动子式调谐大制动装置”,首次应用于大阪商业公园内的玻璃塔上。据称,这种装置对地震也有一定的减震作用。这座塔高157m,在其顶部第37层内的中央部 Japan’s Takenaka Public Works Co., Ltd. applied the principle of a vibrator (pendulum) to develop a vibration-reducing device that was used to slow the swing of high-rise buildings when strong winds were applied. This name, “Vibrator-type Tuned Braking Device,” was first applied to the glass tower in Osaka Business Park. It is said that this device also has a certain shock-absorbing effect on the earthquake. The tower is 157m high, in the center of the 37th floor on the top
