Evaluation on Across-Wind Response of Tall Building According to Aerodynamic Shapes

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-rise buildings constructed in large cities are thin and long in their shape and are both unconventional and light-weight. The purpose of this study is to reduce the across-wind response of high-rise buildings (unconventional) under the influence of wind load. As a means to change the external shape of high-rise buildings, we selected the flat Y-type form. It is generally applied in domestic high-rise buildings for examination. Wind tunnel tests take place on 12 high-rise buildings, composed of three different Y-type shapes such as basic square forms with square cross sections and unconventional forms, in a suburban area (α=0.15) with a turbulence intensity of 10%.
