The influence of interactions between two high-rise buildings on the wind-induced moment

The influence of interactions between two high-rise buildings on the wind-induced moment The purpose of the study was to explore the interference effects on the wind-induced moment caused by two nearby high-rise structures. In order to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a stiff full-scale model of the buildings was created. Numerous (0°, 45° and 90°) wind incidence angles and two alternative model cross-sections (30 m × 30 m and 17 m × 40 m) were used in the investigation. In addition, it was looked at how building heights and aspect ratios affected interference effects. The findings showed that when there was close proximity between the structures, the interference effects on the wind-induced moment were most noticeable. The study also showed that interference effects were more evident for structures with greater aspect ratios. The degree of interference effects was also greatly influenced by the angle of wind incidence, with perpendicular wind directions having the greatest effects. These results underline how crucial it is to carefully examine the positioning and orientation of high-rise structures when making wind-induced moment designs. To ensure structural stability and reduce potential negative impacts from interference, designers and engineers should consider the proximity of neighboring structures, the aspect ratios of the buildings, and the angle at which the wind strikes the buildings. In wind-prone places, high-rise buildings’ safety and performance can be greatly improved by including such factors in the design process. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Journal of Civil Engineering Springer Journals

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore the interference effects on the wind-induced moment caused by two nearby high-rise structures. In order to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a stiff full-scale model of the buildings was created. Numerous (0°, 45° and 90°) wind incidence angles and two alternative model cross-sections (30 m × 30 m and 17 m × 40 m) were used in the investigation. In addition, it was looked at how building heights and aspect ratios affected interference effects. The findings showed that when there was close proximity between the structures, the interference effects on the wind-induced moment were most noticeable. The study also showed that interference effects were more evident for structures with greater aspect ratios. The degree of interference effects was also greatly influenced by the angle of wind incidence, with perpendicular wind directions having the greatest effects. These results underline how crucial it is to carefully examine the positioning and orientation of high-rise structures when making wind-induced moment designs. To ensure structural stability and reduce potential negative impacts from interference, designers and engineers should consider the proximity of neighboring structures, the aspect ratios of the buildings, and the angle at which the wind strikes the buildings. In wind-prone places, high-rise buildings’ safety and performance can be greatly improved by including such factors in the design process.
