Webinar Introduction: Architectural CPD Certification Program "Large AMD Technology for High-Rise Buildings as a Solution to Wind Sway Control"


In this webinar, we will explain the technology to solve wind sway countermeasures, using the example of a large AMD newly developed for wind sway countermeasures for high-rise buildings.
The presentation will cover a wide range of topics, including the product's greatest feature, a mechanism that can simultaneously suppress shaking in two directions (horizontal and horizontal XY) with a single unit; the principle of vibration suppression; functions, safety, and maintainability unique to the special installation environment on the roof of a high-rise building; and the features of the software.
The program is also accredited as an architectural CPD program, so participants can earn one architectural CPD credit for attending the course.

■What you can learn
Gain a better understanding of countermeasures against horizontal environmental vibrations, such as wind-induced swaying
Learn how a single AMD for a high-rise building can reduce sway in two horizontal XY directions.
