Using energy absorption systems in the structures with malfunctioning components is of paramount importance. By absorbing the seismic energy, these systems help the components of the structure to remain resilient during earthquake. In the present study, viscous dampers were applied in order to enhance the reactions of tall building with belt truss. To assess the response of a structure un...

Field measurements are critical to further understand the structural behavior of super-tall buildings under strong wind actions. This paper presents field that reflect characteristics and effects on Leatop Plaza Typhoon Vicente. Wind characteristics, including turbulence intensity, gust factor, power spectral density speed in an urban area, were obtained basis a statistical analysis measured da...

Wind-induced loading on buildings may be altered due to presence of upwind structures. These variations are quantified by the interference factors (IFs), which is determined experimentally for each case analyzed, since obtaining this quantification in codes and standards still impractical complexity multi-parameters involved. To understand influence some these parameters effects, contour plots ...
