The buffeting performance of free-standing tower of JiangHai Navigation Channel Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge, under yaw wind is investigated by means of wind tunnel test of aeroelastic model. It is found that the variation of buffeting response of free-standing tower with wind yaw angle is not monotonous. The lateral buffeting response on the top of the free-standing tower reach their minimal values and maximal values at around 150°and 180°of wind yaw angle respectively and the longitudinal buffeting response attain their maximal values at around 90°of wind yaw angle. Also, at the 2/3 height of the tower the lateral buffeting response and torsional buffeting response get their minimal values at around 150°of wind yaw angle, and at around 180°achieve the maximal values. It is also seen that, the buffeting response changes with the wind speed at a conic curve approximately.

Interval Analysis Method

The traditional wind-induced response analysis of high-rise buildings conventionally considers the wind load as a stationary stochastic process. That is, for a certain wind direction angle, the reference wind speed (usually refers to the mean wind speed at the building height) is assumed to be a constant corresponding to a certain return period. Combined with the recorded data in wind tunnel test, the structural response can be computed using the random vibration theory. However, in the actual typhoon process, the average wind speed is usually time-variant. This paper combines the interval process model and the nonrandom vibration analysis method with the wind tunnel test and proposes a method for estimating the response boundary of the high-rise buildings under nonstationary wind loads. With the given upper and lower bounds of time-variant wind excitation, this method can provide an effective calculation tool for estimating wind-induced vibration bounds for high-rise buildings under nonstationary wind load. The Guangzhou East tower, which is 530 m high and the highest supertall building in Guangzhou, China, was taken as an example to show the effectiveness of the method. The obtained boundary response can help disaster prevention and control during the passage of typhoons.

Wind load on complex-shape building, the wind tunnel test and numerical simulation were carried out. The two technologies supplement each other and their results meet well. There are mainly positive pressures on the windward surface, negative pressures on the roof, the leeward surface and the side. Especially, negative pressure is higher in the leeward region of the building corner. Its effect induced by the shape of the complex-shape building is remarkable.

In this study we carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the structural stability of a container crane according to the change of the boom shape using wind tunnel test and provided a container crane designer with data which can be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load at 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane. Data acquisition conditions for this experiment were established in accordance with the similarity. The scale of a container crane dimension, wind velocity and time were chosen as 1/200, 1/13.3 and 1/15. And this experiment was implemented in an Eiffel type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel with 11.52m2 cross-section area. Each directional drag and overturning moment coefficients were investigated.
