چکیده

Traditionally, wind analysis procedures based on the ‘‘gust loading factor’’ approach and experimental techniques involving the high frequency base balance and the ‘‘stick-type’’ aeroelastic model test have assumed ideal structural mode shapes, i.e., linear lateral modes and uniform torsional modes. The influence of nonideal mode shapes manifests itself through modifications in the generalized wind load, the structural displacement, the equivalent static wind load ~ESWL!, and the attendant influence function. This has led to the introduction of several correction procedures, each focusing on an individual feature of the overall response analysis framework. This paper presents a systematic development of correction procedures in terms of correction factors ~CFs! to account for nonideal mode shapes in the formulation of generalized load, analysis of structural response, and the derivation of the ESWL. A parameter study is conducted to examine the significance of CFs in estimating various load effects. It is observed that the influence of a nonideal mode shape is actually negligible for the displacement response and the base bending moment, but not so for other load effects, e.g., the base shear and the generalized wind load. Although the existing procedures are effective in correcting the intended response component, they should not be used indiscriminately for other load effects. This paper also presents a correction procedure for the influence of mode shapes on the ESWLs, a loading format that is very attractive for implementation in codes and standards and design practice as well as for the correct interpretation of wind tunnel measurements.

Coupled Dynamic Analysis and Equivalent Static Wind Loads on Buildings with Three-Dimensional Modes

Buildings with either complex geometric shapes or structural systems with noncoincident centers of mass and resistance, or both, may undergo three-dimensional ~3D! coupled motions when exposed to spatiotemporally varying dynamic wind loads. To capture the dynamic load effects, this paper presents a framework for the analysis of 3D coupled dynamic response of buildings and modeling of the equiva...

Validity of Wind Load Distribution based on High Frequency Force Balance Measurements

High frequency force balance ~HFFB! measurements have recently been utilized to identify the distribution of spatiotemporally varying fluctuating wind loads on buildings. These developments, predicated on their ability to compute any response component of interest, based on actual building characteristics, attempt to offer a framework that eliminates the need for mode shape corrections generall...

Alongwind 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...

اثرات بارهای ناشی از موج و باد بر ضرایب شدت تنش یک سازه فراساحلی ترکدار

Due to the much higher maintenance and replacement expenses of the offshore wind turbine structures, more attention should be paid for a reliable lifetime analysis of them. Meanwhile, the cyclic nature of wave and wind loads together with the corrosive effects from the sea water are major factors for the creation and growth of flaws and cracks in offshore structures. These cracks can be the cau...
