고층건물의 진동응답을 저감시키기 위한 다양한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 이들 진동응답의 저감 연구는 건물의 외관을 병화 시키는 방법과 건물에 부가감쇠장치를 설치하는 방법들이 있는데 본 논문에서는 고층 건물의 형태의 변화에 다른 진동변위응답의 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 고층건물의 형태변화 중에서도 외관에 테이퍼를 수는 방법을 사용하였다. 기류의 특성은 도심 및 교외지역을 중심으로 풍동실험을 실시하였다.
The investigations for mitigating wind-induced excitations of tall buildings have been carried out. The aerodynamic modification of a building shape changing the cross-section with height through tapering, which alters the flow pattern around the building, could reduce wind induced excitations of tall buildings. The fart that a tapered tall building might spread the vortex-shedding over a broad range of frequencies makes more effective for reducing acrosswind responses has been established. In this paper, to investigate the tapering effect for reducing wind-induced responses of a tapered tall building, high-frequency force-balance test was conducted. The six types of building models which have different taper ratio of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15% and one basic building model of a square cross-section were tested under the two typical boundary layers representing suburban and urban flow environment. The effect of wind direction was also considered.
