Most tall buildings are constructed in the prosperous center of large cities, where is inevitable to be surrounded by many interfering buildings. Wind interference effects among buildings should not be neglected. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate wind interference effects on such tall buildings. Based on the wind tunnel test of rigid model of a tall building, the wind pressure distribution on the building with interfering buildings around it has been researched, the contours of the mean and fluctuate wind pressure coefficients have also been presented. It has been found that shielding effect and channeling effect are significant in the wind interference effects on building. Wind pressure coefficients on side wall and leeward wall of a upstream building may be dramatically changed in case the wake boundary of the upstream building is interfered. The conclusions might be used as reference to structural design and plan.

Simulation Calculation

One of the critical loads in engineering design is wind load, especially for high-rise structure or multi-story structure. In order to forecast the distribution of wind effects on structure, how to accurately predict the building surface wind pressure distribution is very important. Using the wind tunnel model test and numerical simulation calculation methods, the surface wind load on the mega-frame structure were comparatively analyzed and researched in this paper. The results show that combined the realized к-ε model with the standard wall function will not only satisfy the mega-frame structure surface wind pressure value requirement, but also provide complete wind filed around, which could provide meaningful information for further research on wind load.

The Mean

Wind tunnel tests are carried out for the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) high-rise building with a scale of 1:400 in exposure categories D. The distribution law of extreme pressure coefficients under different conditions is studied. Probability distribution fitting is performed on the measured area-averaged extreme pressure coefficients. The general extreme value (GEV) distribution is preferred for probability distribution fitting of extreme pressure coefficients. From the comparison between the area-averaged coefficients and the value from GB50009-2012, it is indicated that the wind load coefficients from GB50009-2012 may be non-conservative for the CAARC building. The area reduction effect on the extreme wind pressure is smaller than that on the mean wind pressure from the code. The recommended formula of the area reduction factor for the extreme pressure coefficient is proposed in this study. It is found that the mean and the coefficient of variation (COV) for the directionality factors are 0.85 and 0.04, respectively, when the orientation of the building is given. If the uniform distribution is given for the building’s orientation, the mean value of the directionality factors is 0.88, which is close to the directionality factor of 0.90 given in the Chinese specifications.
