A Simplified Parametric Study on Occupant Comfort Conditions in Base Isolated Buildings under Wind Loading by F. Ubertini, F. Comodini, A. Fulco, M. Mezzi

“…While occupant comfort is considered in international standards regarding the design of high rise buildings against wind loading, it is neglected in the design of buildings with seismic protective base isolation systems. Nevertheless, due to their low flexibility, base isolated buildings can be prone to wind-induced vibrations, which makes occupant discomfort a potentially significant serviceability limit state. …”
