Wind Tunnel Tests for Wind-Excited Benchmark Building (NEES-2014-1241)

<p><strong>Title</strong>: Wind Tunnel Tests for Wind-Excited Benchmark Building (NEES-2013-1241)</p> <p><b>Year Of Curation: </b>2014</p> <p><b>Description: </b>The 76-story 306 m tall benchmark building chosen as the prototype structure for this study. The buildinga??s plan view is approximately 42 m square with two 7 m chamfers on opposite corners. To determine wind forces on the complex facade of the structure, a scaled model is studied in the wind tunnel. The wind tunnel tests were performed in the Department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Sydney.</p> <p><b>Award: </b>http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0218813</p> <p><b>PIs & CoPIs: </b>Bijan Samali</p> <p><b>Dates: </b>January 01, 2004 - December 31, 2004</p> <p><b>Organizations: </b>Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, China,    University of California, Irvine, CA, United States,    University of Technology, Sydney, Australia</p> <p><b>Facilities: </b>University of Technology, Sydney, Australia</p> <p><b>Sponsor: </b>NSF - CMS - 02-18813</p> <p><b>Keywords: </b>benchmark,high rise buildings,wind tunnel test,wind load</p> <p><b>Publications: </b><br /> "Wind Tunnel Tests for Wind-Excited Benchmark Building"<br /> "Benchmark Problem for Response Control of Wind-Excited Tall Buildings"<br /> J.
