Abstract

A research into the influence of the main parameters in the preliminary structural design on the wind-induced dynamic behaviour, including soil-structure interaction effects, of high-rise buildings in the Netherlands. The dynamic behaviour becomes more and more important for higher and more slender structure. The dynamic response is controlled by the maximum acceleration at the top of the structure. The maximum acceleration is determined with a spectral analysis for a large amount of building variants, ranging from a 100 meters to 300 meters high. The influence of each parameter can be obtained from the generated data in this research within the considered domain. Having insight into the influence of design decisions on the dynamic response already in the preliminary design, can be beneficial for the whole design process and can result in a higher comfort level our high-rise buildings.
