Abstract

In recent years, high-strength, light-weight materials have been widely used in the construction of high-rise buildings. Such structures generally have flexible, low-damping characteristics. Consequently, wind-induced oscillation greatly affects the structural safety and the comfort of the building

Key Words

tuned liquid column damper; aerodynamic damping ratio; wind tunnel experiment; high-rise building.
