Example of nonlinear dynamic responses with values of the natural period of the equivalent linear system equal to 2 s and 4 s: force-displacement curves (a, d), time histories of acceleration (b, e), and third-octave analysis levels (c, f) for a 10-minute mean wind velocity at 10 m height equal to 7 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively.
