Design issues for tall buildings from accelerations to damping ― Tribute to Hatsuo Ishizaki and Vinod Modi

摘要

This paper reviews various issues and the current situation in tall building design. To begin with, it introduces the great contributions of two wind engineers who recently passed away: Hatsuo Ishizaki and Vinod Modi. Then, it discusses various problems on building habitability under wind-induced vibrations, wind forces acting on tall buildings, monitoring of wind-induced responses, evaluation of dynamic characteristics of buildings, suppression of wind-induced responses, and wind-induced non-elastic responses. As a perspective, the importance of the creation and organic combination of a wind database, response database, aerodynamic database, and structural design database is emphasized.
