Since vibration problems in high-rise structures are increased, a sky-bridge is used not only for emergency services but also as a vibration control device. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of vibration control of structures using the sky-bridge connecting two high-rise buildings and to propose the optimum conditions for the sky-bridge. Time history analyses of example structures, 40-story and 50-story structures connected by sky-bridge were performed to investigate the dynamic response of structures with various locations of the sky-bridge and the natural frequency ratio of two structures.
