Danny was asked to the Prom by a senior girl. He hadn’t shown any interest, but last night he got his tux and was excited to show us. Jamie said he looked "hot", but Sara refused to agree—you can’t call your brother hot! In the end, we all said he looked "sharp".
I’m planning on taking photos this Saturday, but it’s tricky! My camera metered for the black jacket, but then the shirt and vest were blown out. Anybody have clues to capture dark and light detail when the clothes are so contrasty? I can do it, but I’ll be working with impatient teens who won’t wait for metering.
Art and Security // Form and Sensibility // Creation and Beauty // The TAIPEI 101 : STEEL PENDULUM : TUNED MASS DAMPER : 88th to the 92nd Floors // Taipei, Taiwan // Enjoy & Embrace!
Thornton-Tomasetti Engineers along with Evergreen Consulting Engineering designed a 660 tonnes (728 short tons) steel pendulum that serves as a tuned mass damper, at a cost of NT2 million (US million).
===
Suspended from the 92nd to the 88th floor, the pendulum sways to offset movements in the building caused by strong gusts. Its sphere, the largest damper sphere in the world, consists of 41 circular steel plates, each with a height of 125 mm (4.92 in) being welded together to form a 5.5 m (18 ft) diameter sphere.
===
Another two tuned mass dampers, each weighing 6 tonnes (7 short tons), sit at the tip of the spire. These prevent damage to the structure due to strong wind loads.
