TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated wind pressure characteristics on a corridor double-skin facade (DSF) of a tall rectangular building through experimental and numerical modeling, and the results from the zonal modeling compare relatively well with the wind-tunnel measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic model of the peak distribution and peak factor for non-Gaussian processes was developed and validated by wind-tunnel pressure measurements on a standard tall building and is shown to be more robust and practical than many existing methods in analyzing nonGaussian wind pressure data.

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative decoupling strategy is adopted to transform the original coupled reliability-based optimization problem into two separated sub problems, which are then solved using the inverse reliability approach and Optimality Criteria (OC) algorithm respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated computational design optimization method for the performance-based design of tall buildings subjected to various levels of wind excitation is proposed by defining various performance objectives associated with multiple levels of weather hazards.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-DOF aeroelastic model test with and without conductor lines was carried out to investigate the dynamic performances of Zhoushan tower during typhoon events.
