풍동시험의 벽면효과 보정방법이 풍동시험 조건에서 수행된 전산해석결과에 적용되었다. 보정을 마친 양력계수는 벽면이 없는 조건에서 수행된 전산해석 결과와 잘 일치하지만 보정된 항력계수는 벽면효과가 제거된 결과와 약간의 차이를 보인다.

This article synthesizes the literature on the meteorology, experimental simulation, and wind engineering ramifications of intense downburst outflows. A novel design of a large-scale test facility and experimental evidence of its validity are presented. A two-dimensional slot jet is used to simulate only the outflow region of a downburst. Profiles of mean velocity and turbulence quantities are acquired using hot-wire anemometry. Comparison with the literature provides empirical evidence that supports the current approach. A geometric analysis considers the validity of applying a two-dimensional approximation for downburst wind loading of structures. This analysis is applicable to power transmission lines in particular. The slot jet concept can be implemented in a large boundary layer wind tunnel to enable large-scale laboratory experiments of thunderstorm wind loads on structures.

Conceptual study of an open-circuit type low-speed wind tunnel for performance test of wind turbine blade and airfoil is conducted. The tunnel is constituted of a settling chamber, a contraction, closed test section, a diffuser, two corners, a cross leg and a fan and motor. For the performance test, the closed test section width of 1.8 m, height of 1.8 m and length of 5.25 m is selected. The contraction ratio is 9 to 1 and maximum speed in the test section is 67 m/sec. Input power in the tunnel is about 238 kW and its energy ratio is 3.6. The wind tunnel designed in present study will be an effective tool in research and development of wind turbine and airfoil.

Large cylindrical floating-roof tanks, constructed as oil containers, are usually distributed regularly in open area and easily exposed to severe wind loads. However, wind pressures around these grouped squat tanks appear to have not been clearly given in design codes or thoroughly studied in existing researches. This paper conducts a detailed investigation on wind loads on the external wall of a four-tank group in square arrangement. To achieve that, wind tunnel tests are carried out on both empty and full tank groups, considering various wind angles and spacing. Results show that 3 regions in elevation can be identified on the tank shell according to the circumferential wind pressure distribution. The upper 2 regions cover a relatively small portion of the shell where excessive negative pressures are spotted, setting an alarm to the design of the top angle and stiffening rings. By comparing results on grouped tanks to those on an isolated tank, grouping effects concerning wind angle, tank position in group and spacing are discussed. Deviations on pressure distributions that will compromise structural safety are outlined, including the increase of negative pressures, the shift of maximum pressure locations as well as the change of positive pressure range. And, several potentially unfavourable wind pressure distributions are selected for further analyses.

This paper describes the development and calibration of a structural monitoring system installed in a 80 meters high steel wind tower supporting a 2.1 MW turbine Wind Class III IEC2a erected in the central part of Portugal. The several signals are measured at four different levels and include accelerations, strains on the tower wall and inside the connection bolts, inclinations and temperature. In order to correlate measurements with the wind velocity and direction and with the turbine operational parameters the corresponding signals are obtained directly from the turbine own monitoring system and are incorporated in the developed system. Results from the system calibration, the structural identification and the initial period of data acquisition are presented in this paper.

In this study, a tensile test and FE analysis were conducted on a bolt-connected L-shaped flange to evaluate its behavior and load resistance. A total of five specimens were manufactured using the inner and outer distances and bolt diameters of the L-type flange as experimental variables. As a result of the tensile test of the L-shaped flange, as the internal and external length ratio (b/a) increased, the maximum load decreased and the maximum displacement increased. As the diameter (d) of the bolt increased, the maximum load and the deformation of the wall increased. The shapes of the destruction specimens showed two forms of destruction: one due to the fall of the nut and the surrender of the bolt as the thread of the bolt and nut was worn out, followed by the surrender of the wall. As a result of FE analysis, it was found that elasto-plastic model (EPM) analysis similarly tracks the behavior of the tensile test results.

The assessment of wind-induced vibration for tall reinforced concrete (RC) buildings requires the accurate estimation of their dynamic properties, e.g., the fundamental vibration periods and damping ratios. In this study, RC frame-shear wall systems designed under gravity and wind loadings have been evaluated by utilising 3D FE modelling incorporating eigen-analysis to obtain the elastic periods of vibration. The conducted parameters consist of the number of storeys, the plan aspect ratio (AR) of buildings, the core dimensions, the space efficiency (SE), and the leasing depth (LD) between the internal central core and outer frames. This analysis provides a reliable basis for further investigating the effects of these parameters and establishing new formulas for predicting the fundamental vibration periods by using regression analyses on the obtained results. The proposed constrained numerically based formula for vibration periods of tall RC frame-shear wall office buildings in terms of the height of buildings reasonably agrees with some cited formulas for vibration period from design codes and standards. However, the same proposed formula has a high discrepancy with other cited formulas from the rest of design codes and standards. Also, the proposed formula agrees well with some cited experimentally based formulas.

This paper presents an experimental study on the effectiveness of viscous-damping walls in controlling the wind-induced vibrations of a building model. A simple four-story building model, square in plan, was constructed for wind tunnel study. In this paper the description of the model, its instrumentation, and the experimental set-up and methodology are reported. The effectiveness of viscous-damping walls in reducing vibrations was investigated for different fluid levels in the walls, and at varying wind speeds and attack angles. The results show that viscous-damping walls are highly effective in most cases.

The purpose of this study is to develop an air-passing soundproofing panel with more improved structure to reduce the $CO_2$ emission and installation cost. To reduce the emission of $CO_2$ ; it is suggested to choose low $CO_2$ emission material relative to the aluminum and to reduce the materials by developing a specially designed air-passing soundproofing panel structure. First of all, we performed the flow analysis to predict the wind pressure according to the open angle of the air-passing soundproofing panel and the noise level analysis at the receiver point. To verify the simulation, a prototype of the soundproofing panel was made. The flow test in the wind tunnel and load test were performed. The economic evaluation for the installation of the air-passing soundproofing panel was performed and specifications of the installation was prepared. As the results of this research, it was verified that the wind load was reduced about 40% to that of the conventional one at 25m/s wind speed in the wind tunnel test. By applying the 4m span soundproofing wall with air-passing soundproofing panel and under the cost of 250 thousand $won/m^2$ instead of the conventional 2m span panel, the installation cost will always be lowered than the conventional one in the combination of (60:40~50:50) conventional to air-passing soundproofing panel from the economic evaluation. The 20% reduction of $CO_2$ was found by changing the 50% of aluminum soundproof panel to air-passing soundproofing panel.

현재 국내터널에 적용중인 벽면마찰계수는 단순히 외국의 연구결과를 인용하여 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 기존 선행연구들에서는 속도감쇄법을 이용하여 벽면마찰계수를 추정하였으나, 터널 내 수렴풍속이 음수(-)이거나 자연풍의 변화가 있는 경우에는 벽면마찰계수에 대한 추정이 어려운 점이 있었다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기존 속도감쇄법과 더불어 동적 시뮬레이션기법을 적용하여 벽면마찰계수를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 총 9개 터널(양방향 18개 튜브)에 대한 터널 내 마찰계수는 0.011~0.025 정도로 분석되었으며, 평균값은 0.020로 추정되었다. 또한, 본 연구를 통해 정량적으로 획득한 벽면마찰계수를 현재 적용중인 설계기준과 비교하였다.
