Abstract

This work addresses basic concepts regarding the wind effects on tall buildings and the tall building's subsequent wind responses. The methodology proposed in Eurocode 1 for quantification of the wind actions is compared with the methodology still in force in the Portuguese code, to assess the advantages and disadvantages of each towards a more realistic building design. Using commercial software for the structural calculations, a study of a specific tall building is performed using the actions associated with the two codes, with the intention of comparing resultant stresses and generalized displacements. A simplified method for quantifying the dynamic action on these structures is adopted, with the purpose of studying techniques for vibration control of the wind induced building response in terms of displacements and accelerations. For the tall building being studied, a comparison is made between the building's response under dynamic wind action with and without a tuned mass damper.
