Abstract: Equivalent static wind loads (ESWLs) play an important role in the wind-resistant design of tall buildings. Traditionally, ESWLs of a tall building are derived based on the equivalence of the top deflection or the base ...

Abstract: Contemporary tall buildings with increasing height and slenderness are highly sensitive to the actions of wind. The structural design of modern tall buildings is generally governed by the need to provide adequate strength ...

Abstract: This paper presents a combined study of wind tunnel experiment and numerical simulation of the wind-induced pressures on the long-span roof of the Hangzhou East Railway Station Building. Wind tunnel tests were performed on a

Abstract: Recent trends towards developing increasingly taller and irregularly-shaped buildings imply that these complex structures are potentially more responsive to wind excitation. Making accurate predictions of wind loads and ...

Abstract: In this paper, a series of full-scale wind tunnel tests are conducted to study the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of the steel tubes connected with C-shaped bolted joints. The dynamic properties of VIV responses of the ...
