Wind Induced Vibration

The importance of wind induced vibration is a key factor in the analysis, design and construction of high-rise building structures. Owing to scarce land resources, urbanization and ever-growing demand for accommodation is leading developers into sloping (hilly) grounds which in turn requires researches on the structural equilibrium of these structures. This study draws to mind the requirements of a fast-growing city of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja considering her vast undulating planes and plateaus, high altitudes and windspeeds (50 m/s). Here therein, lies a comparative study of different types of building configurations and responses for sloping grounds using approaches form seismic analyses as a background to achieving set objectives. The study therefore, attempts the application of a commonly used method (Static Wind Analysis, SWA) for analysis of wind loads on structures and also understudying the outcomes of applying the same loads using dynamic method (Response Spectrum Analysis, RSA). STAAD Pro V8i software was used to synthesize both analyses using the ASCE 705 code (wind speed-up over Hills) on 40 models for each analysis method for a 3x5 planar building configurations (G+6, G+8, G+12 and G+18) on grounds (0°, 6°, 14°, 18°, and 27°). The findings confirmed the complexities of sloping ground buildings with a greater chance of vibration and sway for SWA than in RSA. It was concluded, that the Stepback-setback (STPB-SETB) frames were better configured to combat wind loads on sloping grounds for both analyses. Recommendations includes, prioritizing the construction industry, collaboration with international bodies on High-rise development, developing a data base and wind testing facilities.

Equivalent Static Wind Loads

Equivalent static wind loads (ESWL) are the bridge between engineer in the structure design field and researcher in wind engineering field. In this paper, a practical high-rise building with 204 meters high was tested in wind tunnel, and then ESWL was calculated by load-response correlation (LRC) method based on the results of wind tunnel. Some results are useful for design of building structures.

Abstract A hybrid mass damper system has been developed with a view to counteracting wind- and earthquake-excited vibrations of large high-rise building structures. In order to eliminate the large space needed to accommodate a pendulum-type mass damper adapted to the long period of high-rise building, mechanism has been devised for suspending the auxiliary mass on a V-shaped rail sliding on rollers. The base angle of the V-shaped rail is varied for adjusting the natural period of the mass damper system. A suboptimal algorithm based on the minimum norm method has been adopted for designing the auxiliary mass driving system. Three units of this damper system, each equipped with auxiliary mass weighing 110 tons, have been installed on a 52-story building. Satisfactory performance conforming in all practical aspects with design has been verified from vibration test on actual building after installation. As sequel, the functioning of the system during the first year of service is also reported.

Rc Frame Buildings

The present decade, high rise multi-storey buildings are subjected to many external effects such as earthquake, wind loads, tidal loads, etc., in most cases high rise buildings have more vulnerable to earthquake and wind loads. Most of the reinforced concrete multi-storeyed frame buildings were heavily damaged and many of them completely collapsed during due earthquakes. RC frame buildings were severely damaged due to various deficiencies when proper codal provisions are not designed. A study is need to study the behaviour of the RC framed structure under earthquake load to reduce the damage caused by earthquake forces In this investigation a RC framed building of G+20 storeyed is considered in several seismic zones under different soils as per Indian Standard code IS 1893(part1):2016, using STAAD. Pro V8i as software tool. Finally evaluate the ultimate Base shear using Equivalent static method and Response spectrum method addressing under design forces.
