Study on Wind Load Characteristics of a Super Tall Building Based on Numerical Simulation

Abstract:

This paper present some selected numerical results of a typical super-tall building based on a new Large Eddy Simulation scheme. The spatial correlation of local wind forces were presented and discussed in detail. The probabilistic characteristics of fluctuating wind loads were evaluated. Furthermore, the along-wind and across-wind spectral characteristics were studied and compared with the von Karman spectrum. The output of this study is expected to be of considerable interest and practical use to professionals and researchers involved in the design of super-tall buildings.
