Model shape correction method for high-frequency force balance technique

摘要

This study proposed the mode shape correction formulae for the high frequency force balance technique. The presented formulae respectively give the mode shape for translational modes and torsional modes, meaning that there is no need to distinguish the traditionally concerned along wind case and cross-wind case anymore. This treatment makes the mode shape correction much simpler especially when wind blows to a building obliquely. Comparison with some experimental results of other researchers shows the reliability of the proposed formulae. The mode coupling effect is also analyzed and discussed through an actual super-tall building, the Guangzhou East Tower. The results show that the mode shape coupling effect is significant and cannot be ignored.
