The number of tall buildings has significantly increased in all around the world due to rapid
technology and urbanization advancements. However, the wind-induced response has …

Numerical simulation of tornado-like vortices, like those produced in experimental facilities,
poses many challenges. This is attributed to the complexity of vortical flow-field and the …

Due to the rise in tornadoes in the United States, the built environment continues to suffer
damage. Masonry buildings comprise a significant portion of the built heritage environment …

A three-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic model of the standard CAARC Tall Building with a
rectangular cross section was tested in both atmospheric-boundary-layer (ABL) wind tunnel …

An experimental study was conducted to quantify the characteristics of a tornado-like vortex
and to reveal the dynamics of the flow-structure interactions between a low-rise, gable-roof …

A tornado simulator is built and large eddy simulations are carried out to model the swirling
flow fields in a tornado-like vortex and the tornado-induced wind loads on a cooling tower …

Pressure tests and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) tests were conducted to investigate
interference effects between two high-rise buildings. Buildings with the same height but …

The experimental results of the influence of different net structures on the dynamics of wall-
free non-stationary air vortices are presented. These vortices were produced over …

Flow characteristics of tornado-like vortices are primarily influenced by the swirl ratio and
aspect ratio. This study systematically investigates effects of these two essential parameters …

This paper explores the inelastic behavior and the risk of collapse of buildings designed for
wind loads. The approach used is similar to the prevailing method utilized for seismic loads …
