Estimating Wind-Induced Responses of the Sightseeing Tower of the West Taihu Lake, Changzhou

Abstract

The wind tunnel test was carried out for the Sightseeing Tower of the West Taihu Lake, Changzhou in this study, and the equivalent static wind loads of the Moon Tower were obtained at different wind angles. Frequency-domain analysis was performed to reveal the wind-induced response dynamics. The distribution diagram of unfavorable equivalent static wind loads was worked out to provide reference for the design of the main structure.
