Intelligent Quarters Hamburg: Zur Tragwerksplanung schwingungsentkoppelter Hochhäuser.

Intelligent Quarters Hamburg – structural design of vibration decoupled high‐rised buidlings The joint venture between the ECE Projektmanagement GmbH and Strabag Real Estate GmbH has realized the project "Intelligent Quarters" which is located at the so‐called Elbtorquartier at the HafenCity in Hamburg. The building complex is located directly at the Elbe River and consists of four different buildings. During the design and installation, focus was set on the design of fully vibration decoupled high‐rised buidlings due to complex location directly above the new subway U4 in Hamburg. Results of finite element calculations and experiments showed that the use of vibration dampers leads to vibration decoupled structures at "Intelligent Quarters". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
