How was Taipei 101 designed to withstand earthquakes?

Taipei 101 was designed to withstand earthquakes through several engineering innovations, including a robust structural framework and a tuned mass damper. The building features a central core made of reinforced concrete, providing stability and strength. Additionally, a large pendulum-type tuned mass damper, located near the top, absorbs and dissipates seismic energy, reducing swaying during an earthquake. These measures ensure the skyscraper's resilience against seismic activity in the region.
