| Abstract | During the past decades, several modem analysis procedures, which allow engineers to accurately predict complex behaviors of slender stmctures in natural turbulent winds, have been developed. Tue recent developments in atmospheric sciences, fluid mechanics, stmctural dynamics and stochastic theories have been ve1y well incorporated in these analysis procedures. Tue procedures were subsequently simplified and translated into modem wind-resistant design codes which were included in Building code of Canada, US, Australia, UK and so on. Despite this progress, wind-resistant design code in Thailand is still in p1imitive form. None of the knowledges have been incorporated in the code. Therefore in this study, existing analysis procedures used for the estimation of along-wind response of tall, slender buildings are extensively reviewed and the underlying theories used for the development of Building code of Canada( NBCC) and US (ANSI) are identified and compared. Then a new wind-resistant design code to be used for buildings in Thailand is proposed based on the best procedures and theo1ies. Numeiical compadson between the proposed design wind pressurse and design wind pressures used in the present Building Design Code of Thailand (1979) is also conducted. |
