Dynamic Wind Response of Twin Tall Buildings Linked by a Skybridge

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Twin tall buildings linked a skybridge involve two types of coupling: the structural coupling, developed by a skybridge, synchronizing the motions of vibration of the two building and the aerodynamic coupling resulting from high cross-correlations of the components of wind loading. From the wind engineering viewpoint, an understanding of these couplings and their impacts on the wind-induced response of the buildings can not be fully accounted for when using the traditional high-frequency force balance (HFFB) approach tailored for single tall buildings, and thus this requires utilization of advanced dynamic wind response analysis. This paper addresses the dual-HFFB approach accounting for correlated wind loading and structurally coupled response of twin buildings with a skybridge. The proposed method is subsequently used to investigate the effects of aerodynamic and structural couplings on the rooftop accelerations of the buildings. Spectral integration and white-noise approximation approaches are employed in calculations of the building responses. The presented results show significant effects of both the aerodynamic and structural couplings. The multi-HFFB technique would be useful for wind tunnel study of structurally connected tall buildings.
