Performance-Based Design for Wind-Excited Tall Buildings Equipped with High Performance Control Systems
Publication: Structures Congress 2018: Buildings and Disaster Management
ABSTRACT
Performance-based design (PBD) has been widely accepted as the new design paradigm to reduce the risks to engineered facilities. In this paper, an innovative PBD approach for wind excited tall buildings equipped with high performance control systems (HPCS) is proposed. Maximum acceptable accelerations are introduced as target performance for HPCS design under atmospheric boundary layer winds. The wind hazard is characterized by mean recurrence intervals of the wind speed, representative of low, medium, high, and extreme events. A life-cycle analysis procedure is integrated in the PBD to estimate the total costs of the structure, accounting for initial construction cost, installation and maintenance costs of the devices, and savings associated with wind-induced vibration mitigation. The proposed methodology is applied to a numerically simulated 39 story building, located in Boston, MA, equipped with passive and semi-active devices. To address the variability in the wind excitation, different realizations of the same wind velocity are generated and used to develop fragility functions for the structure. Results show that both the passive and HPCS cases offer significant financial benefits over the lifetime of the structure. Results show that both the passive and HPCS cases offer significant financial benefits over the lifetime of the structure. The mean annual failure costs resulted similar, while the HPCS, compared to the viscous case, yielded to a higher life cycle cost, due to the higher initial and maintenance costs associated with the HPCS devices.
