Evaluation of Wind-Induced Response Bounds of High-Rise Buildings Based on a Nonrandom 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 con...

description 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.
