Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wind-resistant buildings, and in particular relates to a wind-resistant design method for a multi-tower connected building. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of urbanization in recent years, there has been an increasing number of high-rise landmark buildings. Among them, conjoined structures have become a common high-rise building design form in recent years. The towers of conjoined buildings are connected to each other through connectors, which can be used as corridors. This greatly facilitates the use of high-rise buildings and increases the diversity of architectural forms, making them novel and beautiful. However, the floor plans, floor heights, and number of floors of the high-rise towers at both ends of the connector are often significantly different, and the dynamic characteristics of the tower structures vary greatly. For such structures, calculating wind loads according to conventional methods in the specifications is no longer fully applicable, and the accuracy of the calculations cannot be guaranteed. This is especially true in coastal cities, where wind loads are large and some areas experience frequent typhoons each year. The wind resistance of the structure is the main safety control factor, which places higher demands on the accuracy of wind load calculations.
[0003] The wind interference effect of connected buildings is more pronounced. Their wind load characteristics, including average and pulsating wind loads, are significantly affected by their own size and surrounding buildings. The wind load on the tower in a connected building differs significantly from that on a single high-rise building due to the presence of the other tower. The narrow passage formed between the two towers also increases wind velocity and pressure. Because the connector connects the towers, the dynamic characteristics of the connected structure are inherently more complex than those of a single building. In addition, it is exposed to the turbulent wind field of the atmospheric boundary layer. The pulsating effect of the wind load is often affected by the characteristic turbulence of the blunt body, which manifests as a more complex and sensitive dynamic effect. Based on the wind vibration coefficient stipulated in the code, it is difficult to meet the design accuracy requirements. At the same time, when analyzing its wind-induced vibration, the coupled vibration effect of multiple towers must be considered.
[0004] Connectors are a crucial component connecting towers, often characterized by large spans and high passenger flow. Comfort assessments for these connectors are necessary. While the load code provides a calculation formula for downwind wind acceleration for "high-rise buildings with uniformly distributed size and mass along their height," this formula is not applicable to complex connector structures and cannot be used to verify wind-induced acceleration. Summary of the Invention
