Abstract: This paper presents preliminary results of an aeroelastic wind tunnel test on a cable dome. The structural design of the model is given in detail. Similarity requirements based on dimensional ...

Abstract: The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of incident flows (i.e., variations in terrain roughness) on wind loads and wind load combination effects on a target low-rise building. Three area ...

Abstract: Characteristics of wind pressures on a low-rise building immersed in various building area densities were investigated using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence models. Wind pressure ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a parameter identification problem of a linear dynamic system resulting from forced acceleration responses when input forces are unknown. The problem is attributed to an input force imposed on its ...

Abstract: A modified Cook-Mayne method is proposed for extreme wind load estimation. A technique that can simulate true r-order extreme values of a correlated random process is adopted in this method to estimate the annual multiorder ...

Abstract: Wind loads are generally divided into along-wind, across-wind, and torsional loads, but in reality they occur simultaneously in time and space. Furthermore, because they do not show their maximums at the same instant, they ...

Abstract: Direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) with a dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid model are performed to investigate the flow past a square cylinder under the influence of velocity shear at the inlet at ...

Abstract: The influences of free-stream turbulence and Reynolds number on the aerodynamic characteristics of a semicylindrical roof have been investigated experimentally under uniform flow conditions. Grids were used to generate ...

Abstract: Several existing methods on the extreme value estimation and signal simulation are reviewed in this study with evaluation of their performances in the simulation of the
