Abstract: This paper presents the development of a universal model for predicting cyclic aerodynamic loads originating from buffeting, self-excited, and vortex shedding on a slender support structure in the time domain that can be ...

Abstract: Over recent years, the application of performance-based design (PBD) has continually grown in the design of tall buildings and other structures excited by large wind loads. PBD has also become a mainstream approach to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a quasi-steady technique that combines aerodynamic force coefficients from straight-line wind tunnel tests with empirically developed tornado wind speed profiles to estimate the time history of aerodynamic ...
