Title: Wind Tunnel Tests for Wind-Excited Benchmark Building (NEES-2013-1241)

Year Of Curation: 2014

Description: The 76-story 306 m tall benchmark building chosen as the prototype structure for this study. The buildinga??s plan view is approximately 42 m square with two 7 m chamfers on opposite corners. To determine wind forces on the complex facade of the structure, a scaled model is studied in the wind tunnel. The wind tunnel tests were performed in the Department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Sydney.
