Wind-induced response of soil-structure-damper systems

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1992
Abstract The wind-induced motion of tall/slender structures equipped with tuned mass dampers was investigated, taking into account the effect of soil compliancy under the footing. A transfer matrix formulation was used to analyse the soil-structure-mass damper interaction in the frequency domain.

Codification of Wind-Induced Dynamic Responses of Tall Buildings

HKIE Transactions, 1999
This paper discusses the codification of wind- induced dynamic responses on tall buildings based on the dynamic gust factor method and the Implication on the design wind loads according to the background data of the current Hong Kong Wind Code. The principles of the dynamic gust factor approach to the estimation of along-wind responses of tall ...

Wind-induced response of a twin-tower structure

Wind and Structures, 2001
With a newly developed multi-force-balance system(MFB), a twin-tower structure was studied for its wind-induced responses. The MFB system allowed the twin towers, which were linked structurally, to be treated as a single structural system with its corresponding modes of vibration involving coupled motions of the two towers. The towers were also studied

Wind Induced Nonlinear Response of Coupled Spar Platform

Volume 8A: Ocean Engineering, 2014
The oil and gas exploration has moved from shallow water to much deeper water far off the continental shelf. Spar platforms under deep water conditions are found to be the most economical and efficient type of offshore platform. Several Spar platforms installed in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea proves its suitability for deep water exploration ...

Wind-Induced Torsional Loads and Responses of Buildings

Advanced Technology in Structural Engineering, 2000
Wind-induced loads on a building are invariably spatially non-uniform and some twisting about its vertical axis results. The magnitude of this wind-induced moment or torque depends on the shape of the building, the influence of surrounding buildings and the direction of the wind.

Wind-Induced Response Analysis of Steel Tower Structure

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
In this paper, autoregressive (AR) method is firstly introduced to simulate wind speed time series. The agreement of the simulated wind speed spectrum to the target spectrum is verified. A 42m-high steel tower subjected to wind load is analyzed using ANSYS.

Human Response to Wind-Induced Motion of Buildings

Journal of the Structural Division, 1973
The various aspects of human response to tall building wind-induced motion are considered—including the results of two building occupant surveys. A rational format for including the wind-motion-discomfort issue in the design of tall buildings is presented, and a tentative criterion is proposed.

Wind-induced response analysis of tension leg platforms

Computer-Aided Design, 1985
A procedure is presented for estimating the wind‐induced response of tension leg platforms (TLP). Spatiotemporal characteristics of the wind velocity field over the ocean are discussed. It is shown that the wind spectra generally used for land‐based structures may not adequately represent wind velocity fluctuations at very low frequencies associated ...

Wind-induced response of a tension leg platform

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1997
Dynamic response studies of a tension leg platform (TLP) are carried out in time domain to investigate the influence of non-linearities due to the hydrodynamic drag force, variable cable tension, variable submergence, long excursions and fluctuating wind together with the effect of coupling.

Wind Induced Dynamic Response Calculations

2014
It is in the following taken for granted that the main wind direction throughout the entire span of the structure is perpendicular to the direction of its span. The wind velocity vector is split into three fluctuating orthogonal components, U in the main wind direction, and v and w in the across wind horizontal and vertical directions.
