Tall Buildings
This chapter introduces Database‐Assisted Design_Equivalent Static Wind Loads (DAD_ESWL) software and illustrates the application of its two options for design of a tall building. It briefly discusses an approach to performing a structure's preliminary design, and outlines the subsequent iterative use of DAD_ESWL to perform the final design. The chapter lists the contributions of the wind engineering laboratory to the design process and briefly presents the application of the DAD approach and of the ESWL approach to the structural design of a 47‐story steel building. For a structure with given mechanical properties, the DAD_ESWL software is used by the structural engineer to determine the effects of interest induced by combinations of gravity loads and wind loads based on the aerodynamic and wind climatological information provided by the wind engineering laboratory. The chapter provides a brief summary of salient features of the user's manual, which describes the software in detail.
