<p>Cities are organized around various underlying networks but building structures do not follow this trend. The isolation of structural systems causes difficulties in the case of tall structures. We investigate the possibility of improving structural behaviour by organizing buildings into urban-scale structural networks, with focus on vortex-induced vibration. We review our recent work, in which randomly generated collections of high-rise buildings were examined by numerical simulation using a conceptual model of the network composed of springs and point masses. Here we examine the behaviour of a realistic collection of buildings, generated by considering the existing building stock and urban fabric of Midtown Manhattan. The new simulation results suggest that connections among the buildings would enable the application of significantly softer bracing systems. This finding suggests that urban-scale structural networks is a promising direction of urban development.</p>

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Control devices are commonly applied to suppress structural displacement due to dynamic loads. In this work, a study of the optimum tuned mass dampers (TMDs) design was carried out, installed in a high-rise building subject to wind-induced vibration. Tuned mass dampers are the most known passive energy device and their design are an important area of study. A mathematical model to consider the wind force in the time domain was introduced. A procedure to obtain the robust design of tuned mass dampers was proposed through the optimization under uncertainties, which considers the uncertainties present in the structural properties of the building and also in the dynamic excitation. This method led to the robust design of TMDs, whereas the device performance became insensitive to the randomness of the input variables of the optimization problem. The robust design was compared with a design obtained by a deterministic optimization and the advantages of using an optimization under uncertainties are shown. In addition, the proposed methodology was compared with traditional TMD design methods, showing again the superiority of the proposed methodology.</p>
