Abstract:
Wind and temperature are two important loadings that must be considered during design and construction of supertall buildings. More attention has been paid to the former, whereas little to the latter. In practice, the measured structural responses are the combination of the two loadings and separation of the two effects is difficult. In this paper, the thermal and typhoon actions of the 600 m tall Canton Tower are studied using the comprehensive long-term structural health monitoring system installed on the structure. The structural responses under a strong typhoon are monitored. The temperature-induced responses during the typhoon period are eliminated such that the responses due to typhoon solely are obtained. The comparison shows that the temperature action is similar to or even larger than the wind action, and thus should be paid more attention for similar structures. Finally, the typhhon-induced responses are verified with the wind tunnel test using an aeroelastic model of the entire tower.
