Author(s)/Editor(s): Alan P Jeary | Size: 7,2 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: University College London | Year: 1981 | pages: 208 A study of the measurement, prediction and characterisation of the dynamic behaviour of tall buildings is presented. Initially a review of the history of tall buildings and the study of their dynamic behaviour is presented. The characterisation of tall buildings by conventional means and by the use of spectral functions is considered. The results of tests on twelve tall buildings and one quarter-scale model are presented. The response of twelve of these structures to wind excitation has been monitored, and, for the purpose of calibration, all but one of the buildings has been excited artificially by the use of eccentric mass vibrators. The handling of deterministic and random data is considered and some new techniques for their reduction are presented. The introduction of a new vibrator system has allowed the study of the dynamic characteristics of tall buildings with a greater precision than has previously been possible. The new precision has suggested reasons for the confusion which previously existed in the assessment of dynamic characteristics of tall buildings, and a new rationale for the prediction of natural frequencies and damping ratios is presented. Finally, currently popular methods for the prediction of the response of tall buildings to wind excitation are considered and comparisons have suggested several areas where research is urgently needed.
