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 ...

The wind‐induced response characteristics of atypical tall buildings

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, 2007
AbstractA tall building reacts sensitively to winds because the wind force increases according to the height and shape of the building. Various shapes of tall buildings and their aerodynamic characteristics have been studied extensively. For structural design and occupant comfort, the dynamic displacement of a tall building must be maintained within ...

FULL-SCALE MEASUREMENTS OF WIND-INDUCED RESPONSE OF SYDNEY TOWER

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1983
Abstract Results of full-scale measurements of wind-induced response of Sydney Tower taken between December 1980 and August 1982 are presented in this paper. The natural frequencies of vibration were found to be 0.10 Hz and 0.50 Hz for the first mode and second mode respectively.

The distribution of the maximum wind-induced response of structures

2016
The distribution of the maximum response of structures to wind actions is usually determined by Davenport’s model assuming that the structural response is a random stationary Gaussian process and the up-crossings of high response thresholds are rare independent events.

Effect of building shape on wind-induced response of tall building

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1988
Abstract Wind tunnel model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of building shape on the wind-induced response of a tall building with a rectangular cross-section. It was found that horizontal slots, slotted corners and chamfered corners caused significant reductions in both the along-wind and cross-wind responses.

Wind induced response of a cable supported stadium roof

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1992
Abstract The first section of the paper describes the results of a wind tunnel investigation of the behaviour of wind of the cable supported roof of the “Stadio dell Alpi”, Turin, Italy. The results presented and discussed include local and area-averaged pressures on the roof and the motions observed on a 1:200 aeroelastic model. It is shown that the

Wind-Induced Response of Buildings Arranged in a Group

1995
Wind forces on buildings are usually dealt with considering the building in isolation. Controversely, about 80% of buildings are situated in an urban environment and hence surrounded by other buildings: the flow fields interfere with each other altering the wind loads — both static and dynamic — in comparison to the isolated case.

Wind-induced dynamic response of bridges

2004
Wind loading has long played a significant role in bridge design. Some spectacular failures, such as the Tay Bridge (Scotland, 1879), or the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (Washington State, 1940) acted as a painful reminder to engineers in case they had forgotten the importance of wind loading.
