The field measurement of wind-induced response is of great significance to the wind resistance design of high-rise buildings, in particular torsional responses measured from high-rise buildings under typhoons. The measured high-rise building, with a height of 108 m, has 32 stories and is supported by giant trusses with four massive columns. Acceleration responses along translational and torsional directions were monitored synchronously and continuously during the passage of Typhoon Sarika on 18 October 2016. The wind speed and wind direction at the height of 115 m, the translational accelerations on a total of six floors and the angular accelerations on a total of four floors were recorded. The time and frequency domain characteristics of translational acceleration and torsional angular accelerations were analyzed. The amplitude-dependent translational and torsional modal frequencies of the measured building were identified by NExT-ERA, SSI, and RDT methods. The full-scale study is expected to provide useful information on the wind-resistant design of high-rise buildings in typhoon-prone regions.

The traditional wind-induced response analysis of high-rise buildings conventionally considers the wind load as a stationary stochastic process. That is, for a certain wind direction angle, the reference wind speed (usually refers to the mean wind speed at the building height) is assumed to be a constant corresponding to a certain return period. Combined with the recorded data in wind tunnel test, the structural response can be computed using the random vibration theory. However, in the actual typhoon process, the average wind speed is usually time-variant. This paper combines the interval process model and the nonrandom vibration analysis method with the wind tunnel test and proposes a method for estimating the response boundary of the high-rise buildings under nonstationary wind loads. With the given upper and lower bounds of time-variant wind excitation, this method can provide an effective calculation tool for estimating wind-induced vibration bounds for high-rise buildings under nonstationary wind load. The Guangzhou East tower, which is 530 m high and the highest supertall building in Guangzhou, China, was taken as an example to show the effectiveness of the method. The obtained boundary response can help disaster prevention and control during the passage of typhoons.

The use of air conditioning energy (AC) as an effort to remove heat in buildings reaches 30% of the total energy needed in the building. To reduce the use of energy in buildings by using natural ventilation because the system does not use mechanics. Field research has been carried out with the result that the openings at Balai Padang are unable to make occupants' comfort. Therefore, the existing openings will be given treatment by wider the existing openings which are 20%, 30%, and 40%. This study purpose to investigate the effect of WWR on histologic comfort. The numerical methodology is based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, using K-epsilon RNG. Numerical results are validated with available field measurement data. The results obtained that by increasing the percentage of openings, the wind speed is also highPenggunaan energi air conditioning (AC) sebagai upaya penghapus panas di dalam bangunan mencapai 30% dari total energi yang dibutuhkan di dalam bangunan. Upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengurangi penggunaan energi di dalam bangunan yakni dengan menggunakan penghawaan alami sebagai penghapus panas karena sistemnya yang tidak menggunakan mekanis. Penelitian lapangan telah dilakukan dengan hasil bahwa bukaan yang ada di Balai Padang tidak mampu mencukupi kebutuhan kecepatan angin yang diperlukan untuk mendinginkan fisiologis penghuni. Oleh karena itu, bukaan yang ada akan diberikan perlakuan dengan memperbesar bukaan yang ada yakni 20%, 30% dan 40%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek dari WWR terhadap kenyamanan fisiologis penghuni.  Metode yang digunakan adalah eksperimental dengan menggunakan bantuan software CFD (computational Fluid Dimension) berdasarkan persamaan Navier-Stoke, menggunakan K-Epsilon RNG. Eksperimen dilakukan dengan validasi hasil pengukuran lapangan. Hasil yang didapatkan bahwa dengan menambah prosentase bukaan, kecepatan angin juga semakin besar.

It is seriously different about characteristics of the mean wind speed between a deep gorge and plains, because of the deck of Aizhai bride to deep gorge bottom up to 335m. Characteristics of the mean wind speed in the deep gorge at the Aizhai bridge site are investigated based on field measurement using three 2D anemometers. The plan of field measurement was induced, and the wind speed, fluctuating wind speed and the 10min average wind speed with 10 days as a unit was analyzed. It if found that wind direction is basically consistent with the gorge toward. Based on the Wind-Resistant Design code, the surface roughness coefficients was fitted about 0.29, and very close to D class of the wind code.

In this paper, autoregressive (AR) method is firstly introduced to simulate wind speed time series. The agreement of the simulated wind speed spectrum to the target spectrum is verified. A 42m-high steel tower subjected to wind load is analyzed using ANSYS. Through modal analysis, it can be found that the first several modes of the structure are all translational vibration modes. Torsional vibration modes and local vibration modes appear from the 3th order mode. Meanwhile, time history analysis is applied to analyze the structural response. Results show that, under wind loads, the steel tower has large stresses in the chords which have abrupt section area change.

Membranes have been popularly used in the fields of civil engineering and aerospace engineering. When wrinkled, a membrane loses its stiffness in the direction perpendicular to wrinkles and is more sensitive to wind loads. This paper numerically studied the wind-induced responses of a wrinkled membrane and their variations with respect to wind speed, wind direction and wrinkling deformation. Based on the stability theory of plates and shells, the wrinkling deformation of a rectangular membrane under shear was obtained by post-buckling analysis. Then, by using the wind load derived from a wind tunnel test, the dynamic responses of the wrinkled membrane were numerically analyzed for different wind speeds, wind directions and wrinkling deformations. The results indicate the following: (1) the displacement and extreme stresses of a membrane are gradually intensified with an increase in the wind speed; (2) the wind direction plays an important role in the displacement, but it has little effect on the stresses and (3) the displacement increases with the wrinkling deformation, and the extreme stresses are intensified with an increase in the pre-tension. This study on the wind-induced responses of a wrinkled membrane is helpful to the understanding of the complex behavior of a wrinkled membrane under wind loads while reducing the adverse effects of wrinkling deformation and ensuring the dynamic stability of membrane structures.
