Database-Assisted Design for Wind: Concepts, Software, and Example for High-Rise Reinforced Concrete Structures

Time-domain analyses of wind effects on high-rise structures have been made possible in recent years by advances in wind pressure measurement and computer technology. Time domain solutions not only provide full phase information on structural responses to wind but can also account naturally for modes of vibration of any shape, including any number of higher modes of vibration, as well as for mode coupling. This study applies the Database-Assisted Design (DAD) methodology to the design of re...
