Abstract:With the development of science and technology, modern super-tall building is becoming more slender and flexible, which will lead to more serious across-wind loads and responses of them. Measures for mitigation of across-wind loads and responses of super tall buildings are mainly aerodynamic measures, structural measures and additional dampers. Appropriate designing of architectural configuration or appropriate local modifications of cross-section of buildings can mitigate the across-wind loads and responses, which is the mechanism of aerodynamic measures. This paper presents an overview of past/recent work on aerodynamic measures for mitigation of across-wind responses of super tall buildings, including selecting basic cross-section configuration with good aerodynamic features, modifying corner details, variation of cross-section shape along building height, openings on building walls, and so on. Furthermore, issues of concern in the research and application are pointed out, and suggestions for future research are also given.
