Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study on the effectiveness of viscous-damping walls in controlling the wind-induced vibrations of a building model. A simple four-story building model, square in plan, was constructed for wind tunnel study. In this paper the description of the model, its instrumentation, and the experimental set-up and methodology are reported. The effectiveness of viscous-damping walls in reducing vibrations was investigated for different fluid levels in the walls, and at varying wind speeds and attack angles. The results show that viscous-damping walls are highly effective in most cases.
