Directions : In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blanket from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. The structural performance of Canton tower is 1. and the design greatly improved by making it a Living or Smart building as will be discussed in more detail in the following section. The key structural elements in this living structural system are Supplemental Taylor Viscous Damping Devices. These devices – dampers – are energy dissipating devices that 2. and dissipate the energy going into the structure from the environmental loads. These devices help reduce the wind load on the structure (by changing/offsetting the characteristics of the tower), and the displacements and floor accelerations (by improving structural 3.________). The strength, serviceability and human comfort criteria can then be satisfied with smaller members in the structure. These active dampers have a control mechanism and a feedback system that are tuned to the actual displacement of the structure. A computer 4.__________ the data from the feedback system in real time and sets the controls of the dampers to produce the 5.________ effect. Also the feedback system can also be used for 6.__________ entertainment, wherein the actual movement of the tower could be 7._________ projected on TV consoles and viewed by visitors. It is self-evident that in this electronic age that will only become more beneficial to structural engineers during the life of this structure which will certainly exceed the 8.________ assumed 50 years for code structural design criteria that both the 9. ___________ and software of this damping feedback system will make great advances and be 10.__________ with time.
