Interference effects of wind loads on a row of tall buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
ABSTRACT: We apply CFD to visualize wind flow around a row of three square-plan tall buildings closely arranged in a row. Increase in wind load on the upwind building is observed when wind blows to the row at 30. CFD results show that the interference mechanism is mainly due by strong channeling of wind flow through the building gaps. This leads to highly negative pressures on building walls facing a gap.

Numerical Simulation of Interference Effect on Dynamic Wind Loading of Tall Buildings in Close Proximity by Large-eddy Simulation
We attempt to compute the dynamic wind loads on tall buildings in close proximity with large-eddy simulation. Computation is attempted on two building geometries on which strong interference effects have been reported in previous wind tunnel studies. The computation uses a commercial code and a simple model of turbulence characteristics of the incident wind flow. The computed along-wind and acr...
متن کاملAnalysis of Tall Buildings with Bundled Tube System Subjected to Wind and Earthquake loads
At present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. Although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. In this paper, for the analysis of Framed-Tube systems, a simple method was studied and de...
متن کاملAlongwind Static Equivalent Wind Loads and Responses of Tall Buildings. Part I: Unfavorable Distributions of Static Equivalent Wind Loads
Although on the same theoretical basis, the current standards of major countries have set out two evidently different distributions of along-wind static equivalent wind loads, one is the same as the mean wind force and the other is the same as the first mode shape, on tall buildings. In this paper, the fluctuating static equivalent wind load is evaluated as mean, background and resonant compone...

متن کاملA Simple Approach to Static Analysis of Tall Buildings with a Combined Tube-in-tube and Outrigger-belt Truss System Subjected to Lateral Loading
In this paper, an efficient technique is presented for static analysis of tall buildings with combined tube-in-tube and outrigger-belt truss system while considering shear lag effects. In the process of replacing the discrete structure with an elastically equivalent continuous one, the structure is modeled as two parallel cantilevered flexural-shear beams that are constrained at the outrigger-b...
