An outrigger energy dissipation and shock absorption structure capable of actively controlling damage comprises an overhanging truss arranged between a core tube and a frame column. The shape of the outer contour of the vertical face of the
cantilever truss is a big-end-up trapezoid, the
cantilever truss is composed of horizontal chord members, vertical web members and
diagonal web members, and the
diagonal web members comprise first
diagonal web members close to the core tube side and buckling restrained braces close to the frame column side; the
cantilever truss and the
floor slab are disconnected through a gap, and a limiting device is arranged. The
viscous damper is vertically placed, the upper portion of the
viscous damper is connected with the upper end of the cantilever truss, and the lower portion of the
viscous damper is connected with the
corbel through a length-adjustable device. Lateral resistance and
load bearing are separated, the problem that local damage of a core
tube structure is too large due to the outrigger truss in the earthquake action is solved, meanwhile, the energy dissipation capacity of the viscous
damper is guaranteed through the length-adjustable device,
active control over damage is achieved, and the service life of the viscous
damper is prolonged. Therefore, each component of the super high-rise building is ensured to stably exert mechanical properties and fully realize energy dissipation and shock absorption effects.
