Interference Effects on Tall Tower due to High Rise Buildings


Abstract eng:
This paper presents the interference effects on aerodynamic response of a tall tower due to high-rise buildings. Initially, the study was carried out in the wind tunnel on an aeroelastic model of the tower under stand-alone condition, in a boundary layer flow. This provided the reference data for the aerodynamic interference study. Finally, the interference on tower due to high-rise square buildings of varying heights and same plan area was undertaken. Interference effects were studied by keeping the interfering building model at various (x, y) locations on the upstream, downstream and side-by-side positions of the tower, and have been expressed in the form of contours of buffeting factors. Significant findings are presented in this paper.
