Wind Induced Vibration Design for High-rise buildings through Control of Natural Period

주기 조절을 이용한 고층 건물의 풍응답 조절 설계

As the slenderness ratio of a high-rise building increases, the lateral load resisting system for the building is more often determined by serviceability design criteria. In serviceability design, the maximum drift and the level of vibration are controlled not to exceed the design criteria. Even though many drift method have been developed in various forms, no practical design method for wind induced vibration has been developed so far. Structural engineers rely upon heuristic or experience in designing wind induced vibration. Development of practical design method for wind induced vibration is required. Generally, wind induced acceleration responses are depending on several variables such as the weight density of a building, damping ratio, the natural period, and etc.. All parameters except the natural period or frequency are usually out of reach for structural engineers, then the wind acceleration response may be proportioned to the natural period. Therefore, in this paper, a wind induced vibration design method based on frequency control technique for high-rise is proposed. The method is applied to vibration design of a 25-story office building for performance evaluation.
