Shaping Tall Buildings to Reduce Aerodynamic Excitation and Response
Background to the generation of perceptible accelerations in tall buildings is developed to demonstrate that these tend to be dominated by the cross-wind response to wake, vortex, excitation. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates the dependence on wind speed, damping, building massiveness and the cross-wind force spectrum. The remainder of the paper gives guidelines to the way in which the shape or configuration of a building may be directed to achieve reductions in the cross-wind force spectrum and hence reductions in acceleration response.
