Vertical Load Carrying SystemPost-tensioned concrete flat slabs supported by concrete columns and core shear walls.
Lateral Force Resisting SystemConcrete core shear walls with supplemental tall outrigger columns of steel reinforced concrete in the transverse direction. The core is attached to outrigger columns by steel buckling restrained braces. Water tanks at the top of the building are part of the "tuned liquid-mass damper" system to reduce wind induced motions.
Foundation TypeConcrete mat foundation (12 feet beneath the tower) bearing on bedrock.
RemarksThis building was instrumented jointly by the California Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey. The building structural design was based on performance-based seismic design.
