This Is How Engineers Prevent A Skyscraper Swaying Too Much During Strong Wind. by innotutorial(op): 12:54pm On Jul 25, 2021

This video explains how engineers used Tuned mass damper to control vibration on buildings and avoid too much swaying on the buildings which are caused by Strong Earthquake and wind Forces. A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a mechanical device designed to add damping to a structure for a certain range of exciting frequencies. You can find this tuned mass dampers on skyscrapers like Taipei 101, CN Tower in Toronto, Citicorp center in New York, Crystal Tower in Osaka etc.

But Igboho's Afonja bricklayers cannot even erect a 3 storey building without it collapsing after 6 months.

That's how they killed an innocent landlord in Ikorodu the other day & crashed an Air Peace plane in Ilorin with their fraudulent Kabiru Kazeem expertise.

Criminals!!

It is on record that the first man made pyramids (olden days sky scrapers) existed around Udi- Nsukka axis. It has existed long before the Egyptian pyramid were made.

Personallly, I have two uncles the USA have refused to allow back here because they were just too good in their fields. You may feel inferior about your own race, but intelligence is not entirely a function of race.

Please rephrase the topic.
You make it sound like every tall building has one, whereas the Op mentioned specific buildings having it to stop sways caused by high winds

Can you live inside the pyramid in this present day?!
See I'm not against africa but when we acknowledged that we are lagging behind,that's when we may get to start developing .
Stop crying,no body dey beat you.

You're using olden days development to chest beat ,you need to be ashamed of yourself.
