High Rise Building

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.

Local Space

For many high-rising buildings, large local space is very useful for its special function needs, such as conference hall and hotel lobby. The shake table test results of a high-rising building with large local space show that the dynamic characteristics of such structure are complex and the torsional mode becomes the first mode, while the torsional responses under earthquake excitation, especially of the floor just above the large local space, are very remarkable. In this paper, the bidirectional Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is employed for reducing the torsional vibration of such complex high-rise building structure. A reduced-scale model is design and constructed. A series of shake table tests are carried out and the test results indicate that the TMD system is very effective in torsional vibration control of structural system.

Control Factors

We are investigating how to use urban design approaches to conduct the layout and basic design of newly-built high-rise buildings to reduce wind obstruction and create effective urban ventilation. Few studies have addressed this issue. This study analyzes the effects of high-rise building on pedestrian-level wind in downstream street canyons based on wind tunnel test results, and examines the suitability of an urban design specification. The height (H) of high-rise buildings and the airflow passage width (S) between adjacent high-rise buildings are key control factors for this issue; H/D = 3 and S/D = 1.125 are critical parameters and recommended values (D is the height of the downstream street blocks).
