As buildings have become higher, it is likely to find the wind loads that is equal to or even greater than the design seismic loads. Therefore, it is important to estimate responses of high-rise buildings under fluctuating wind force. This paper presents contribution rate of higher mode wind response of multi-mass system for high-rise buildings by using a modal analysis in elasto range. Then, it shows that the wind responses are usually separated into the low and high frequency components, and the wind responses can be expressed as sum of them. The agreement between the predicted value based on coupling of two components and results of time-history analysis was finally confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
