An Analytical Study on the Performance of Wind Resistant System Considering Climate Change

Article Preview

Abstract:

As the development of structural system and material enable to construct many high-rise buildings. However, high rise buildings are vulnerable to the strong wind rather than seismic excitation, because they have relatively long period. Recently, intensity and frequency of extreme wind such as hurricane and typhoon have been increased with the weather change all over the world. Therefore, in this study, 50-story building with three types of braces which are diagonal brace, X-brace, Chevron brace are modelled and compared with non-braced 50-story building by changing wind speed. Finally, all the results from four cases are compared for wind performances. As a result, buildings reinforced with X-brace and Chevron braces have a good performance subjected to the strong wind.
