Abstract: Brancusi’s Endless Column (Târgu-Jiu, Romania) is an interesting case study in bluff body aeroelasticity. It has been referred to as aeroelastically indifferent owing to its remarkable aeroelastic stability. This stability ...

Abstract: We present a novel methodology for the estimation of the aerodynamic damping that affects the along-wind response of tall buildings. The estimation uses (1) measurements of the external pressures on the windward and leeward ...

Abstract: Wind load factors incorporated in the ASCE 7-05 standard are based on rough approximations of wind effects and the uncertainties inherent in them. These factors are routinely applied to tall building design, even though ...
