AbstractNowadays, many tall buildings or large structure have constructed and have increased around the world. Wind force is a main force for tall structural design. However, the wind loading that supporting tall buildings cannot accurately estimate by international wind engineering codes or engineering standards. Thus, this thesis demonstrates the equivalent static wind force from the combined force method. This technique can determine the effective static wind load on each floor of tall building. The equivalent static wind forces by combined force method include three components: the mean component which is steady state pressure, the background component which is quasi-static part that produced by fluctuations of wind load and the resonant component that is created by vibrations of structure. In addition, they are compared with equivalent static wind force from base codes, which are the Architectural Institute of Japan Recommendations (AIJ), the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Minimum Design loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE) and the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC).
