A large number of buildings with large-span or complex-shape have come to the fore in recent years. To these structures, wind load tends to be control load in the structural design. Shape coefficient of wind load which Chinese load code for the design of building structures can provide is extremely limited due to complex-shape of long-span space structures, therefore carrying our related study is of great practical significance. Yancheng Financial Center model is established in this paper based on ETABS software. The acquired date in the use of wind tunnel test is to simulate wind load which is on the structure and to analysis stress distribution of critical element in order to ensure safety and applicability of structures. This paper mainly covers wind tunnel test, equivalent static wind load, and wind-induced response, etc.

Interval Analysis Method

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.

Wind load on complex-shape building, the wind tunnel test and numerical simulation were carried out. The two technologies supplement each other and their results meet well. There are mainly positive pressures on the windward surface, negative pressures on the roof, the leeward surface and the side. Especially, negative pressure is higher in the leeward region of the building corner. Its effect induced by the shape of the complex-shape building is remarkable.

This paper presents some selected results obtained from the field measurements of wind effects on Guangzhou International Sports Arena (GISA) during the passage of Typhoon Fanapi in September, 2010. The field data such as wind speed, wind direction and acceleration responses, etc., were simultaneously and continuously recorded during the typhoon. The measured acceleration data are analyzed to obtain the information on dynamic characteristics and wind-induced response of the large-span roof structure. The first four natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes of the roof are identified on the basis of the field measurements using the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method and comparisons with those calculated from the computational model of the roof are made. The damping ratios of the roof are also identified by the SSI method and compared with those estimated by the random decrement method, and the amplitude-dependent damping characteristics are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the field measurement results are compared with the wind tunnel test results to examine the accuracy of the model test results and the adequacy of the techniques used in wind tunnel tests.

In this study we carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the structural stability of a container crane according to the change of the boom shape using wind tunnel test and provided a container crane designer with data which can be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load at 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane. Data acquisition conditions for this experiment were established in accordance with the similarity. The scale of a container crane dimension, wind velocity and time were chosen as 1/200, 1/13.3 and 1/15. And this experiment was implemented in an Eiffel type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel with 11.52m2 cross-section area. Each directional drag and overturning moment coefficients were investigated.

Wind Induced Vibration

The responses of tall buildings under wind loads in hilly terrain are remarkably different from that in flat terrain. Wind load codes can’t work efficiently or directly to calculate the wind-induced vibration of tall buildings in hilly terrain. Utilizing some wind tunnel test results of wind field in hilly terrain and pressures on tall buildings, the access to response of tall buildings on hilly terrain were provided. Some effects from hill characteristics to building responses were discussed.
