On the Design of High-Rise Buildings for Multihazard: Fundamental Differences between Wind and Earthquake Demand

Figure 18

Peak responses of the 76-story building under wind and earthquake loads (not simultaneously): (a) displacement, (b) drift, and (c) acceleration. Note that the peak acceleration response at floor 75 (under wind loads) is 30 milli-g (this raises comfort and serviceability issues).
