DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book discusses performance-based seismic and wind-resistant design for high-rise building structures, with a particular focus on establishing an integrated approach for performance-based wind engineering, which is currently less advanced than seismic engineering. This book also provides a state-of-the-art review of numerous methodologies, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), extreme value analysis, structural optimization, vibration control, pushover analysis, response spectrum analysis, modal parameter identification for the assessment of the wind-resistant and seismic performance of tall buildings in the design stage and actual tall buildings in use. Several new structural optimization methods, including the augmented optimality criteria method, have been developed and employed in the context of performance-based design. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers and engineers in the field of civil and structural engineering.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a concise and comprehensive review of the progress made during the past two decades on vortex induced vibration (VIV) of mostly circular cylindrical structures subjected to steady uniform flow. The critical elements of the evolution of the ideas, theoretical insights, experimental methods, and numerical models are traced systematically; the strengths and weaknesses of the current state of the understanding of the complex fluid/structure interaction are discussed in some detail. Finally, some suggestions are made for further research on VIV. The organization of the paper is given at the end of the next section.
A Wind Tunnel Investigation of the Control of Wind-induced Tall Building Vibrations by an Active Tuned Mass Damper

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA wind tunnel investigation was conducted to investigate how effective an Active Tuned Mass Damper (ATMD) was in suppressing the wind-induced vibrations of tall buildings. The model ATMD and model building were developed at a 1:100 scale and tested in a wind tunnel simulating natural wind flow over a suburban terrain at a 1:100 scale. The ATMD model was developed so that parameters such as mass, stiffness and damping could be altered. Consequently, the ATMD was set-up and tested with five various parameter configurations. The ATMD was driven by a sub-optimal control algorithm which used displacement feedback. The optimal phase shift of the control algorithm was determined to be at 110 which was used for all the wind tunnel tests. The wind tunnel investigations demonstrated that the ATMD was effective in reducing both the along-wind and cross-wind responses of the building.
