Abstract The Romanian, as well as other wind design codes for building structures, provides with limited degree of accuracy, the aerodynamic loads distribution on buildings up to 200 meters tall in an equivalent static approach (ESWL). For tall wind-sensitive building structures, especially for those with irregular shapes, most of the codes or standards recommend for design to use pressure data recorded in the wind tunnel. The ESWL approach is however used as reference estimation and structural first phase design. Advances on experimental and computational capabilities, led in the past decade to a significant development of time-domain analysis framework, both for seismic and wind loads. While the major outcome for earthquake engineering practitioners is to select appropriate design input ground motions at a particular site, the wind engineering practitioners are facing numerical difficulties to handle large wind loading durations, especially dealing with nonlinear-induced effects. The paper presents a real-time integrated framework for the analysis and design of tall buildings to wind loads, based on the time-domain analysis tool, as a prerequisite for higher level modules as vulnerability, risk and loss estimation, and optimization analyses.

The Time Domain

Modern tall buildings using high strength and lighter construction materials are more flexible so could be excessive wind-induced vibrations resulting in occupant discomfort and structural unsafety. Recently, many studies have been advanced in using actuator force as an active control force based on the linear quadratic optimum control theory .It needs to predict the wind-induced response and the optimum control force to reduce the excessive wind-induced vibration. It takes a lot of time and cost to do wind tunnel test needed it, so numerical simulation approach instead of that is recommended sometimes. Simulating wind load in the time domain using known spectra data of fluctuating wind load is particularly useful for some prediction of windinduced vibration which is more or less narrow banded process such as a along-wind response of a tall building. In this study, fluctuating along-wind load acting on a tall building treated as a stationary Gaussian white noise process was simulated numerically in the time domain using the along-wind load spectra proposed by G.Solari in1992. And using this simulated along-wind load estimated the reduced along-wind vibration response of a tall building which has an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) installed based on the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) control method.
