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.
Yes, Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world, incorporates various seismic design features to withstand earthquakes. These features include a tuned mass damper to counteract swaying and reinforced concrete walls. While no building can be completely earthquake-proof, Taipei 101 was designed to minimize damage during seismic events.
Taipei 101 is designed to withstand the typhoon winds and earthquake tremors common in its area of the Asia-Pacific. Planners aimed for a structure that could withstand gale winds of 60 m/s (197 ft/s, 216 km/h, 134 mph) and the strongest earthquakes likely to occur in a 2,500 year cycle.[

As the name suggests, Taipei 101 consists of 101 stories.
Taipei 101 the world's tallest skyscraper was built by C.Y. Lee & Partners but this structure is primarily built by KTRT Joint Venture and Samsung Engineering and Construction.

Yes, the Taipei 101 does curve a bit, but it also moves along with the direction of the wind due to the gigantic steel ball, called a tuned mass damper, placed near the top of the building.
