Characteristics of Wind Pressures on Typical Super-Tall Buildings


Abstract eng:
It is very important to understand the characteristics of wind pressure in amplitude and frequency domains for developing refined mathematic models of wind loads of tall buildings. In this paper, 10 typical super-tall building models of different cross-section shapes and aspect ratios and side ratios are tested in a wind tunnel. The wind pressure coefficients and power spectrum densities and as well as coherence functions in horizontal and vertical directions are analyzed in detail. The effects of terrain conditions on the wind pressure coefficients and power spectrum densities and coherence functions are also discussed. Some conclusions are finally summarized.
