Conical high-rise buildings are less likely to sway in the wind. This is an application of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2352710221014467\">Tapering Effect<\/a>, which reduces the surface of the building most affected by the wind, the top. This type of design is widely used for skyscrapers because they best withstand wind resistance. For instance Lotte World Tower, Korea\u2019s tallest building, is reminiscent of a cone with its gently curving sides that taper towards the top. This not only gives it a unique shape, but reduces vibrations caused by wind.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S088997461300039X\">Setbacks<\/a>, meaning that the building frontage is recessed like a step, is another technique to withstand the wind. New York City was one of the first cities to mandate tall buildings be built with setbacks. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is built with 26 setbacks arranged in a spiral, giving it an almost cone-shaped appearance, too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bd1059 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1bd1059\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Burj-Khalifa-and-Lotte-Tower-which-taper-as-they-go-up..png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-30433\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Burj-Khalifa-and-Lotte-Tower-which-taper-as-they-go-up..png 906w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/Burj-Khalifa-and-Lotte-Tower-which-taper-as-they-go-up.-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.burjkhalifa.ae\/en\/the-tower\/gallery\/\">Burj Khalifa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kpf.com\/project\/lotte-world-tower\">Lotte Tower<\/a>, which taper as they go up.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98f73c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98f73c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When a building sways back and forth it can not only harm the structural integrity, it can also make people inside the higher floors feel uncomfortable. One way to reduce this back-and-forth movement caused by strong winds is to use a damper or harmonic absorber inside the upper floors. When a building is pushed by the wind in one direction, the mass of the damper moves in the opposite direction, stabilizing it. In early high-rise architecture, this was achieved using a large vat of water in the top floors. Now they are much more intricately designed. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/technology\/design\/a16819\/tapei-101-mass-damper-record\/\">Taipei 101 skyscraper<\/a> has a massive ball-shaped damper that weights 660 metric tons.
