The extraordinary urbanisation of cities in recent decades urges us to consider the efficient
design of tall buildings. Because of the increased flexibility of slender buildings, wind loads …

This paper summarizes the state-of-the-art techniques used to simulate hurricane winds in
atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) for wind engineering testing. The wind tunnel simulation …

Globalization of construction industry, burgeoning growth of tall buildings, and the recent
focus on the development of unified international codes/standards has increased the need …

In comparison with atmospheric boundary layer winds, which are customarily treated as
stationary, winds associated with gust fronts originating from a thunderstorm/downburst …

This study introduces a unique prototype system for structural health monitoring (SHM),
SmartSync, which uses the building's existing Internet backbone as a system of virtual …

This paper takes CAARC standard tall building as example to investigate the effects of
corner chamfers on the aerodynamic performance of tall buildings. Five rigid tall building …

For wind-resistant design of tall buildings, it is routine to obtain complete surface wind
pressure distribution based on experimental data recorded at limited locations. The main …

This paper introduces a framework for the performance-based design (PBD) of high-rise
buildings with respect to the occupant comfort performance objective. The performance is …

This study proposes a surrogate-based cyber-physical aerodynamic shape optimization (SB-
CP-ASO) approach for high-rise buildings under wind loading. Three components are …

The traditional peak factor approach and combination rules developed for Gaussian scalar
combination effects are not applicable for vectorial combination effects which feature non …
