Structural Response Analysis and Comfort Evaluation of Residential Buildings: A Combined Wind Tunnel and FEM Approach
With global urbanization accelerating, high-rise buildings have become a common feature in the urban landscape, especially in coastal cities, where they encounter unique wind-load challenges. This study aims to quantify the structural response and occupant comfort of a high-rise residential building under wind-induced accelerations by integrating wind tunnel testing with finite element analysis (FEA). The research focuses on critical response parameters, including displacement, acceleration, and stress, to evaluate the building’s performance. Wind tunnel tests provided detailed wind pressure distribution data across the building’s surface, while multi-degree-of-freedom and finite element models facilitated precise numerical simulations. The findings highlight a significant directional and temporal variability in wind-load responses, with the most pronounced effects observed at a wind-direction angle of 105° relative to the building’s front-facing axis (0°). The study confirms that the combined application of wind tunnel tests and FEA offers a comprehensive approach to understanding wind-induced responses, essential for the scientifically accurate and effective design of high-rise structures.
