Power Spectral Density Model of Torsional Dynamic Wind Loads on Tall Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

9 models of tall buildings with different rectangular cross-sections are tested in a wind tunnel. After processing and analyzing the measured data of fluctuating pressure on the models, the effects of models’height, aspect ratio, side ratio on the power spectra of torsional wind loads are studied. New formulas of power spectral density of torsional wind loads are proposed by curve fitting method. The applicability of the formulas has been verified by the results from the wind tunnel test.
