Abstract

Aeroelastic wind tunnel tests were conducted on conventional and tapered super-tall buildings to investigate the effect of the taper on the aeroelastic behavior for various wind directions and normalized velocities, with a focus on the maximum tip displacement. The natural frequencies and damping ratios were adjusted by means of the spring stiffness and magnetic field at the bottom of the test models. The displacements at the bottom of the test models were measured and transformed to tip displacements. The results showed that the taper suppressed the maximum tip displacement in both the X and Y directions, although the suppression was greater in the Y direction, especially for small wind directions. Moreover, the variations of the maximum tip displacement in the X direction with the wind direction and normalized velocity were small.
