To investigate the aerodynamic method for reducing motion induced vortex excitation as well as the galloping and torsional flutter of a tall building, We conducted wind tunnel tests on a tall building having a rectangular cross-section with a side ratio, D/B of 4.0 and aspect ratio of 10.0. Three aeroelastic building models were constructed to assess the effect of modified building shapes on the reduction of these vibrations. One is a plain model and the others are the shape-modified versions of the plain model, in which one has chamfered corners and the other has two openings at the top level. Experimental results showed that the chamfered model was more effective than model with the opening in reducing the above-mentioned types of vibrations, especially in motion induced vortex excitation, but not in reducing torsional vibration when the reduced velocity is high. Increasing the damping ratio might not be effective in reducing the bending and torsional vibrations of both the chamfered model and the model with openings when the reduced velocity is high.

Pressure Distributions

The static pressure distributions on a group of cylinders with either square or rectangular cross-section having rounded corners are presented. The test is conducted at the exit end of an open circuit wind tunnel with uniform velocity of 14.2 m/s across the cylinder with Reynolds number of 2.87 x 104 and 4.20 x 104 based on the side dimension of the cylinder normal to the direction of the approach flow. The experiment is performed for a group consisting of two cylinders one behind the other along the flow direction with different side dimensions at zero angle of attack for various interspacing between the cylinders. It is observed from the experimental results that there is appreciable effect of the side dimension and interspacing on the drag coefficient of the cylinders. The results are applicable to a group consisting of two tall buildings one behind the other along the wind velocity direction and each building of either square or rectangular cross-section having rounded corners. The wind load on the downstream cylinder decreases remarkably due to the presence of the cylinder in the upstream side.Keywords: Wind load; Group of buildings.DOI: 10.3329/jme.v41i1.5361Journal of Mechanical Engineering, Vol. ME 41, No. 1, June 2010 42-49

Flooding Risk

Designing for exceedance events consists in designing a continuous route for overland flow to deal with flows exceeding the sewer system’s capacity and to mitigate flooding risk. A review is carried out here on flood safety/hazard criteria, which generally establish thresholds for the water depth and flood velocity, or a relationship between them. The effects of the cross-section shape, roughness and slope of streets in meeting the criteria are evaluated based on equations, graphical results and one case study. An expedited method for the verification of safety criteria based solely on flow is presented, saving efforts in detailing models and increasing confidence in the results from simplified models. The method is valid for 0.1 m2/s 0.5 m2/s. The results showed that a street with a 1.8% slope, 75 m1/3s−1 and a rectangular cross-section complies with the threshold 0.3 m2/s for twice the flow of a street with the same width but with a conventional cross-section shape. The flow will be four times greater for a 15% street slope. The results also highlighted that the flood flows can vary significantly along the streets depending on the sewers’ roughness and the flow transfers between the major and minor systems, such that the effort detailing a street’s cross-section must be balanced with all of the other sources of uncertainty.

The exact theory of linearly elastic beams developed by Ladeve`ze and Ladeve`ze and Simmonds is illustrated using the equations of plane stress for a fully anisotropic elastic body of rectangular shape. Explicit formulas are given for the cross-sectional material operators that appear in the special Saint-Venant solutions of Ladeve`ze and Simmonds and in the overall beamlike stress-strain relations between forces and a moment (the generalized stress) and derivatives of certain one-dimensional displacements and a rotation (the generalized displacement). A new definition is proposed for built-in boundary conditions in which the generalized displacement vanishes rather than pointwise displacements or geometric averages.
