The Evaluation in Displacement Response of Tapered Tall Buildings to Wind Load

풍하중을 받는 테이퍼 고층건물의 진동변위응답 평가

The investigations for mitigating wind-induced excitations of tall buildings have been carried out. The aerodynamic modification of a building shape changing the cross-section with height through tapering, which alters the flow pattern around the building, could reduce wind induced excitations of tall buildings. The fart that a tapered tall building might spread the vortex-shedding over a broad range of frequencies makes more effective for reducing acrosswind responses has been established. In this paper, to investigate the tapering effect for reducing wind-induced responses of a tapered tall building, high-frequency force-balance test was conducted. The six types of building models which have different taper ratio of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15% and one basic building model of a square cross-section were tested under the two typical boundary layers representing suburban and urban flow environment. The effect of wind direction was also considered.

고층건물의 진동응답을 저감시키기 위한 다양한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 이들 진동응답의 저감 연구는 건물의 외관을 병화 시키는 방법과 건물에 부가감쇠장치를 설치하는 방법들이 있는데 본 논문에서는 고층 건물의 형태의 변화에 다른 진동변위응답의 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 고층건물의 형태변화 중에서도 외관에 테이퍼를 수는 방법을 사용하였다. 기류의 특성은 도심 및 교외지역을 중심으로 풍동실험을 실시하였다.
