THE EFFECT OF AERODYNAMIC INTERFERENCE ON THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF TALL RECTANGULAR BUILDINGs

In the present study, the dynamic response of a tall rectangular building is investigated in the vicinity of a single interfering building through a series of wind tunnel tests. The non-dimensional acrosswind force spectrum has been generated for aerodynamic wind interference effect. The results of the study show that the interaction factor (IF) decreases with increase in the size of interfering building. The effects are more pronounced in near the reduced velocity of 6. The height of the interfering building(s) was same as principal building.
