Interference Effects on the Square and Circular Cross-Sectional High-Rise Buildings Under Turbulent Flows

Estimating the wind-induced responses of high-rise buildings requires a detailed investigation wind force characteristics and structural dynamics, especially when an existing neighboring building has equivalent volume at adjacent locations. The interference effects caused by such may seriously alternate loading on target further affect its to safety or habitability evaluation. This research investigates under turbulent boundary layer flows based series tunnel tests. study mainly concerns three disturbance factors effects: approaching flows, locations, two typical section shapes concerned buildings. Results show that terrain effect, location shape effect both principal interfering significantly change mechanism aerodynamic estimated responses. response defined in this have shown distinct different patterns, indicating interfered resonant plays vital role dominating mechanism. Finally, discretized maps with satisfactory 0.5B × grid resolution statistical assumptions are proposed as examples for future codification works.
