Non-Deterministic Analysis of Wind Loads Effects on High-Rise Buildings

Abstract

This paper studies the effect of wind turbulence component that should be described and analyzed in a stochastic form on tall building.

Wind turbulence has been modeled as a random process. Root mean squares (RMS) for building tip displacement has been determined for different heights and different aspect ratios of building plan. Based on computed RMS, it has been noted that different margins of safety should be used for different design parameters (i.e. building height and different aspect ratios).

Keywords: Root mean squares, frequency.
