Abstract

In evaluating wind load effects on large-scale structures, correlations in the frequency domain (i.e., coherences) and power spectra of fluctuating wind speed should be evaluated in advance. Most existing formulas for coherence are expressed as exponential functions based on field measurement data for ease of mathematical treatment. However, these simple mathematical expressions have many limitations. In the present study, after examining the existing coherence formulas, a semi-theoretical formula was proposed, and the corresponding along-wind force power spectrum of a tall building with a square cross-section was numerically calculated. A comparison showed that both the coherence and along-wind power spectrum were in good agreement with those of actual wind tunnel data.
