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

Figure 15

Comparisons between responses for rigid and aeroelastic models (54-story building): (a) acceleration response in the -direction and (b) acceleration response in the -direction. Note that these responses were obtained for a prototype wind speed of 38 m/s, uniform from all directions, and do not correspond to design for comfort and serviceability (just for the sake of comparison between the two techniques of modelling).
