Dynamic wind load on high-rise building having unsymmetrical floor plan
Dynamic wind load on high-rise building having unsymmetrical floor plan
(OP)
I am working on a high-rise building project with 200m tall; floor plan has half-circle shape with diameter = 40m.
In some codes, only high-rise building with rectangular plan is mentioned.
Could anyone tell me the way to calculate along-wind force and across-wind force for that building.
Thanks.

Thank you. Yes, I also think that the tunnel test is needed. However, I want to do that calculation first before going to the test.
Moreover, I would like to know the way to calculate wind force for that floor plan shape with any height of building.

I'm sure there are tabulated values for a semicircle geometry out there, but you might have to look into some fluid mechanics resources rather than structural engineering ones.
