How will they keep it from sinking? I have no idea how deep bedrock is in that area.

Mass dampers are common in high rise buildings. They counteract sway.
If you’re surprised by a moving mass at the top of high rises, you should check out the methods used to keep high rises from collapsing in earthquakes. |

While I’m not a big fan of that design, I’m always excited to see new skyscrapers being built. Louisville was slated to get a new one until the 2008 financial fiasco.

I just hope they have a very diverse engineering and construction team, for equality.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How will they keep it from sinking? I have no idea how deep bedrock is in that area. Well the limestone is usually considered the bedrock. So that's 10-20 feet in most places. If you want something with a chance of hitting dolomite, you're looking at 600-1200 feet, depending on the composition and stability you are looking for. |

I'm sure it has already been mentioned in this thread but the Taipei Tower has something similar.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Maybe this group will drill down to the bedrock. It’s only a few feet down, How deep is the sand in southeast Florida, when there is sand? According to the Florida soil survey, the sand is not as deep as you might think. It is only about 3 to 4 feet. Below the sand (or organic material) is limestone. The survey refers to the limestone as part of the Biscayne aquifer, and it specifies the limestone as “Miami Limestone.” |

The survey refers to the limestone as part of the Biscayne aquifer, and it specifies the limestone as “Miami Limestone.” But how thick is the limestone layer? Which is saturated with water and the cause of the sinkholes that plague Florida so about as stable as a wet sponge. Article says they will dig down below the limestone to place the foundations and it will take 12 months instead of the typical 4 months for other buildings that just drill for piers to go through the limestone layer. |

When I see buildings that tall, I always wonder, How Deep below ground level does it or shit that supports it go?
Also, I see their Earthquake plan in the Pendulum, but what about when a 87' Wall of water sweeps in from a Tsunami, hurricane or tidal wave??? Those things pretty much destroy anything in their paths, maybe not completely gone, but enough to make it fail structurally. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Japanese use a bunch of those pendulums in towers for earthquake resistance, it's a mature technology for that, will probably work fine against high wind. Ugly ass building, though. Blech. Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan, has one as well--in addition to earthquakes they also get typhoons that are comparable to Caribbean hurricanes. I don't see any reason this wouldn't work in Florida.  The ball is gigantic, IIRC it takes up something like 5 stories. |

The Waldorf Astoria residential tower will test a number of new building and safety techniques LOL, fuck that. Also, the exterior of that building is ugly AF. Miami has really changed since the 80’s. My uncle used to keep his boat at that marine, it wasn’t nice back then lol. |
