A Comparison of Force Balance and Pressure Integration Techniques for Predicting Wind-Induced Responses of Tall Buildings

Abstract

Both High Frequency Force Balance (HFFB) and High Frequency Pressure Integration (HFPI) studies of the CAARC standard tall building were carried out at RWDI's boundary layer wind tunnel facility in Guelph, Canada. The results described in this paper are part of an ongoing detailed investigation aimed at quantifying the advantages and limitations of the HFFB and HFPI methods.
