These systems use the building's core as a "spine" and extend stiff "arms" to outer columns. This induces tension and compression in the boundary columns, inducing a stabilizing couple that significantly reduces lateral displacement.
Beyond aesthetics, connected structures can be optimized for shared stability. Research on highly-connected buildings shows that skybridges can reduce structural costs when strategically placed to manage gravity and wind loads across multiple towers. 💻 Advanced Analysis Techniques Structural Analysis and Optimization of Skyscra...
