Abstract
Skyscrapers are wind‐sensitive structures due to their large slenderness ratio and good flexibility. Understanding the wind characteristics and wind‐induced response from the actual data provides first‐hand information for wind resistance design. This paper reports the wind properties and dynamic performance of a 632 m high‐rise building in Shanghai during the passage of typhoons Jongdari and Rumbbia. Field measurements obtained from the structural health monitoring system include acceleration and wind speed. The data analysis of turbulence intensity, turbulence integral length, and gust factor are compared and discussed. For the identification of dynamic characteristics, the stochastic subspace method and enhanced frequency domain decomposition method are employed to identify the modal parameters. Besides, the comfort assessment using peak value and root mean square of accelerations is compared with different standards. Studying the wind characteristics during the passage of typhoons and their impact on high‐rise buildings in a metropolis is expected to gain an insight into the dynamic mechanism of high‐rise buildings and collect a database for wind resistance design in typhoon‐prone regions.
期刊介绍:
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings provides structural engineers and contractors with a detailed written presentation of innovative structural engineering and construction practices for tall and special buildings. It also presents applied research on new materials or analysis methods that can directly benefit structural engineers involved in the design of tall and special buildings. The editor''s policy is to maintain a reasonable balance between papers from design engineers and from research workers so that the Journal will be useful to both groups. The problems in this field and their solutions are international in character and require a knowledge of several traditional disciplines and the Journal will reflect this.
The main subject of the Journal is the structural design and construction of tall and special buildings. The basic definition of a tall building, in the context of the Journal audience, is a structure that is equal to or greater than 50 meters (165 feet) in height, or 14 stories or greater. A special building is one with unique architectural or structural characteristics.
However, manuscripts dealing with chimneys, water towers, silos, cooling towers, and pools will generally not be considered for review. The journal will present papers on new innovative structural systems, materials and methods of analysis.
