Dynamic Response of High-Rise Buildings to Stochastic Wind Loads
This paper presents results of a recent study addressing issues concerning the dynamic response of high-rise buildings. Utilizing a high-frequency base-balance, the alon~w;:~d, acrosswind and torsional components of aerodynamic loads and their statistical corm!ations for a wide range of generic building shapes of different aspect ratios in two approach flow conditions are quantified. A random-v...
متن کاملAssessment of Wind Load Effects on Low-rise Buildings Using Full-Scale Pressure Measurements
This study discusses the wind loads and their effects on Wind Engineering Research Field Laboratory (WERFL) building at Texas Tech University based on full-scale synchronous pressure measurements. The wind load effects on different frames are calculated and the results are compared to those determined based on the wind loads specified in ASCE7-05. Finally, the challenges faced in the modeling o...
متن کاملA Pilot Project For Computer-Based Design of Low-Rise Buildings For Wind Loads { The WiLDE-LRS User's Manual
Design speci cations for wind loads on low-rise structures still rely on reductive tables and plots that can over-simplify the highly complex nature of wind-structure interaction. The need for simpli ed information and design procedures stems in part from the limited information capacity of the current generation of design standards. The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate a prototyp...
متن کاملShape Effects on the Wind-induced Response of High-rise Buildings
This paper explored the effect of building shape on the wind-induced response of a structure through a comprehensive investigation of wind tunnel studies performed at Rowan Williams Davies and Irwin, Inc. (RWDI). The study focused on buildings with foot prints of square, circular, triangular, rectangular and elliptical shapes. Seed buildings were selected from an inventory of structures previou...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of wind-driven rain on an array of low-rise cubic buildings and validation by field measurements
The relation between wind-driven rain (WDR) and its potential negative effects on the hygrothermal performance and durability of building facades can be better understood by the correct estimation of the spatial and temporal distribution of the WDR intensity. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Eulerian Multiphase (EM) modeling are used to obtain accurate spatial and temporal in...
