Title: Methodologies to mitigate wind-induced vibration of tall buildings: A state-of-the-art review
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and –practice on various methodologies developed to control the wind-induced vibration of tall buildings. Tall buildings experience wind-induced vibration in the along- and across-wind directions depending on the wind direction, building shape, height, and structural properties. It is possible to control the wind response of buildings through passive, active, and semi-active systems. Damping systems, which are widely used to reduce the structural vibrations, are reviewed, and their performance in alleviating the building vibration is discussed. It was found that the application of conventional dampers needs to be reassessed to ensure their efficiency in dissipating the energy, especially caused by wind loads. Specific attention has been given to the aerodynamic modification of building shapes considering their effectiveness and high popularity within the wind engineering community. A comprehensive review of the existing wind tunnel experiment and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies are conducted here to present the past and recent achievements on the response mitigation of tall buildings. A comparative study on the performance of different systems has been provided that can provide a commencing point for future studies. The existing challenges and their solutions are explained, and suggestions for future studies are proposed. It is expected that the information provided in this paper will facilitate further research in the area of wind-induced vibration mitigation approaches of tall buildings.  more » « less

    Loss of operation or devastating damage to buildings and industrial structures, as well as equipment housed in them, has been observed due to earthquake-induced vibrations. A common source of operational downtime is due to the performance reduction of vital equipment, which are sensitive to the total transmitted acceleration. A well-known method of protecting such equipment is seismic isolation of the equipment itself (or a group of equipment), as opposed to the entire structure due to the lower cost of implementation. The first objective of this dissertation is assessing a rolling isolation system (RIS) based on existing design guidelines for telecommunications equipment. A discrepancy is observed between the required response spectrum (RRS) and the one and only accelerogram recommended in the guideline. Several filters are developed to generate synthetic accelerograms that are compatible with the RRS. The generated accelerograms are used for probabilistic assessment of a RIS that is acceptable per the guideline. This assessment reveals large failure probability due to displacement demands in excess of the displacement capacity of the RIS. When the displacement demands on an isolation system are in excess of its capacity, impacts result in spikes in transmitted acceleration. Therefore, the second objective of this dissertation is to design impact prevention/mitigation mechanisms. A dual-mode system is proposed where the behavior changes when the displacement exceeds a predefined threshold. A new piecewise optimal control approach is developed and applied to find the best possible mechanism for the region beyond the threshold. By utilizing the designed curves obtained from the proposed optimal control procedure, a Kelvin-Voigt device is tuned for illustrative purposes. On the other hand, the preference for protecting equipment decreases as the earthquake intensity increases. In extreme seismic loading, the response mitigation of the primary structure (i.e., life safety and collapse prevention) is of greater concern than protecting isolated equipment. Therefore, the third objective of this dissertation is to develop an innovative dual-mode system that can behave as equipment isolation under low to moderate seismic loading and passively transition to behave as a vibration absorber for the primary structure under extreme seismic loading. To reduce the computational cost of simulating a large linear elastic structure with nonlinear attachments (i.e., equipment isolation with cubic hardening nonlinearity), a reduced order modeling method is introduced that can capture the behavior of such nonlinear coupled systems. The method is applied to study the feasibility of dual-mode vibration isolation/absorber. To this end, nonlinear transmissibility curves for the roof displacement and isolated mass total acceleration are developed from the steady-state responses of dual-mode systems using the harmonic balanced method. The final objective of this dissertation is to extend the reduced order modeling method developed for linear elastic structure with nonlinear attachment to inelastic structures (without attachments). The new inelastic model condensation (IMC) method uses the modal properties of the full structural model (in the elastic range) to construct a linear reduced order model in conjunction with a hysteresis model to capture the hysteretic inter-story restoring forces. The parameters of these hysteretic forces are easily tuned, in order to fit the inelastic behavior of the condensed structure to that of the full model under a variety of simple loading scenarios. The fidelity of structural models condensed in this way is demonstrated via simulation for different ground motion intensities on three different building structures with various heights. The simplicity, accuracy, and efficiency of this approach could significantly alleviate the computational burden of performance-based earthquake engineering.

    This work presents a control scheme for wind-induced vibration mitigation for tall buildings based on a gated recurrent unit (GRU) encoder-decoder model which operates using readings from multiple sensors to define a unique system state. The sensors include a distributed network of pressure probes installed on surrounding buildings, accelerometers installed on the principal building, and atmospheric conditions. The encoder-decoder GRU is trained from timeseries sensor readings to construct a unique internal representation (hidden state) of the evolving wind and building conditions. A 1:400-scale aeroelastic building model with motorized plates acting as aerodynamic control surfaces is used in wind tunnel experiments to conduct this study. An online genetic reinforcement learning (GRL) algorithm uses a series of multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks to determine optimum actuator orientations for different flow conditions. The algorithm stores previously discovered solutions in the MLPs sorted by their fitness. The GA operates by obtaining a solution from each of the MLPs and performing GA operations on them to choose the next combination of plate angles to try. A chance also exists for trying completely random plate angles to prevent the GA from stalling. The MLPs are continuously trained during online optimization using findings obtained from new trials. The system eliminates the need for holding wind conditions, which are uncontrollable, constant during online training but still uses a pseudo-random search technique to obtain global optimum solutions. Results show a considerable reduction in building RMS acceleration when compared with a large collection of results with random constant plate angle orientations.

  3. Summary

    As buildings become taller and slender, they become more sensitive to wind‐induced vibrations. Commonly used solutions to mitigate wind‐induced vibrations are structural system modifications and integration of supplemental damping devices. This paper presents a procedure to optimize the structural system and the damping device configuration with the goal of reducing wind‐induced vibrations. The performance of the building is expressed in terms of life‐cycle cost (LCC), allowing to consider not only the initial costs associated with the integration of wind‐induced vibration mitigation system but also the lifetime savings due to vibration suppression. The proposed procedure employs a set of Kriging surrogate models to analyze a large number of different structural properties/damping device characteristics. The combination that minimizes the LCC is taken as the optimal configuration. The procedure is demonstrated on a wind‐sensitive 39‐story building equipped with passive dampers. Results demonstrated that the accuracy of the Kriging surrogate models depends on the number of input variables considered, with an average root mean square error of 2.5% for the floors without dampers and 5% for the floors equipped with damping devices, respectively. It was also demonstrated that optimal stiffness–damping device configuration and LCC depend on the assumed cost of the structural system modifications.

  4. Recent earthquakes in many parts of the world have resulted in damage to the civil infrastructure, resulting in fatalities and economic loss. This experience has resulted in stake holders demanding a more resilient infrastructure and the mitigation of earthquake hazards to minimize their impact on society. Researchers have developed concepts for structural steel systems to promote resilient performance. Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides an experimental technique to meet the need to validate new concepts. RTHS enables a complete structural system, including the soil and foundation to be considered in a simulation, interaction effects and rate dependency in component and system response to be accounted for, and realistic demand imposed onto the system for prescribed hazard levels. This paper presents the concept of RTHS and developments achieved at the Lehigh NHERI Experimental Facility that have advanced RTHS to enable accurate large-scale, multidirectional simulations involving multi-natural hazards to be performed. The role that hybrid simulation has played in these developments and how its use has enabled a deeper understanding of structural system behavior under seismic and wind loading will be discussed. Examples include self-centering steel moment resisting frame systems, braced frame systems with nonlinear viscous, and tall buildings with outriggers that are outfitted with nonlinear viscous.

  5. Protecting both the essential building contents and the structural system—as well as facilitating and accelerating the post-event functionality of business operations—is a major concern during natural hazards. Floor isolation systems (FIS) with rolling pendulum bearings along with nonlinear fluid viscous dampers (NFVD) have been proposed to mitigate damage and enhance the resiliency of non-structural and structural systems, respectively. These devices are designed to decrease vibrations under dynamic loading conditions. In this poster, we introduce research using tridimensional nonlinear cyber-physical experimental testing (i.e., real-time hybrid simulations) to validate the performance of these response modification devices placed in structural systems under wind and earthquake loading conditions. The effects of soil-structure-foundation and fluid-structure interactions were also accounted for. The novelty of the project is the use of multi-directional large-scale real-time hybrid simulations of complex nonlinear systems under wind and earthquake demands to combine experimental structural modification passive devices with analytical multi-story buildings considering soil-foundation interaction via neural network. Results show that the FIS and NFVD can significantly reduce the demand on non-structural and structural systems of buildings subjected to natural hazards whose response can be also significantly affected by soil-foundation-structure interaction. A product of this research is the data (which is linked in Related Works), which can be used to compare with new studies using the same experimental techniques and structural modification devices or with alternative approaches. Researchers interested in multi-natural hazards resilience and mitigation, state-of-the-art structural experimental techniques, and the use of machine learning as a tool to improve modeling efficiency will benefit from its results. Also, companies dedicated to the commercial development of structural response modification devices, as well as policymakers working or with interest in economic and social resilience.
