Fluctuations Response of Tall Building to Change of Aspect Ratio in Interference Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

Wind loads on buildings in realistic environments may be considerably either increase or decrease by interference buildings. It is commonly known as interference effect. This effect depend on the geometry and arrangement of these structures. It is objective of this work to study the interference effects of the tall buildings which have the different aspect ratios, upstream terrain conditions, distance between adjacent structures and direction. The obstructing model used in this work have the aspect ratio of 2, 3 and 4 and the distances between adjacent buildings are 0.5B, 1.0B, 1.5B and 2.0B, which B is the width of the building. And the above experimental results were compared with experimental data measured on isolated building.
