Abstract:
Simulation of wind action on tall building using
Fluid-Structure Interaction is investigated in the present work.
Wind loads on tall buildings are traditionally obtained from codes
of practice and the simulations have shown that the equivalent
static loads are conservative. A building model presented by the
Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council is used
as a case study to assess the significance of effects coming due to
fluid structure interaction and compared against the loads
calculated using different codes of practices and wind tunnel
testing.
