| Abstract | ||
| This paper presents an experimental study on the effectiveness of viscous-damping walls inrncontrolling the wind-induced vibrations of a building model. A simple four-story building model, squarernin plan, was constructed for wind tunnel study. In this paper the description of the model, itsrninstrumentation, and the experimental set-up and methodology are reported. The effectiveness of viscous-dampingrnwalls in reducing vibrations was investigated for different fluid levels in the walls, and at varying windrnspeeds and attack angles. The results show that viscous-damping walls are highly effective in most cases. | ||
