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 …

Aerodynamic damping, as the principal determinant of wind-induced vibrations, bears vast
significance in building engineering. This study presents a new modular framework, called …

This document serves as an extension of the keynote presentation delivered in Florence
during the 16th International Conference on Wind Engineering. It elucidates the objectives …

We propose a novel thinking of decoupling bi-directional fluid–structure interactions (bi-FSI)
into simpler mono-directional components for analytical insights. The decoupling aims to …

Due to the low natural frequency and low damping of slender structures, the crosswind aero-
elastic effect become dominant around the vortex-resonance wind speed and can lead to …

High-rise buildings, with similar natural frequencies of sway modes in two orthogonal
directions, can have coupled vibrations when exposed to strong wind exhibiting complex …

For lightweight and lightly damped structures such as chimneys, solar towers, tall buildings
and so forth, an increased crosswind response due to vortex shedding may trigger …

Slender structures are sensitive to wind loads, and aeroelastic effects during vortex-induced
resonance have considerable influences on their survivability, serviceability, and …

The article deals with forced vibrations of a high-rise axisymmetric structure, represented as
a viscoelastic beam of an annular section with a variable slope of the generatrices and …

The prototype buildings in existing wind tunnel tests on the aeroelastic effect of super tall
building are mostly hypothetical and not consider the modal coupling. In this paper, a multi …
