Experimental wind tunnel test results are affected by acquisition times because extreme pressure peak statistics depend on the length of acquisition records. This is also true for dynamic tests on aeroelastic models where the structural response of the scale model is affected by aerodynamic damping and by random vortex shedding. This paper investigates the acquisition time dependence of linear transformation through singular value decomposition (SVD) and its correlation with floor accelerometric signals acquired during wind tunnel aeroelastic testing of a scale model high-rise building. Particular attention was given to the variability of eigenvectors, singular values and the correlation coefficient for two wind angles and thirteen different wind velocities. The cumulative distribution function of empirical magnitudes was fitted with numerical cumulative density function (CDF). Kolmogorov–Smirnov test results are also discussed.

The paper summarizes the results of wind tunnel tests of the influence of aerodynamic interference on wind action of a high-rise building design in Warsaw. Measurements were accomplished in Wind Engineering Laboratory of Cracow University of Technology. Wind pressures on external surfaces of the building model were acquired in two different situations. Firstly, only the building model was placed in the tunnel working section, secondly, the building model with the nearest surroundings was taken under consideration. A study of the character of wind action differences caused by the nearest surroundings of the building was the main aim of the paper. Wind pressure coefficients on the external building surfaces and the difference of horizontal wind action on full scale were compared.
