Investigation approaches to quantify wind-induced load and response of tall buildings: A review
Fangwei Hou,Mohammad Jafari +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the past studies on wind response of tall buildings while providing sufficient information on the mechanism and identification techniques, and provided a roadmap for future research on this topic.

Aeroelastic model tests to study tall building vibration in boundary-layer and tornado winds
Fangwei Hou,Partha P. Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic model of the standard CAARC tall building with a rectangular cross section was tested in both atmospheric-boundary-layer (ABL) wind tunnel and tornado simulator to assess its susceptibility to wind-induced vibration in straight-line wind and tornado wind and compare the two responses.

Time-domain model for prediction of generalized 3DOF buffeting response of tall buildings using 2D aerodynamic sectional properties
Fangwei Hou,Partha P. Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-domain method to calculate the buffeting response of a rectangular tall building (AR of B/D = 15 and H/D= 6) in along-wind, across-wind and torsional degrees of freedom using 2D aerodynamic sectional properties is presented.
