Investigation on wind tunnel tests of the Kilometer skyscraper

Wind tunnel tests were carried out to investigate the wind pressure distribution of a super high-rise building with a height of 1040 m in China. The huge model size led to several technical difficulties, including simulation of large scale wind flow fields, correction of distortion effects caused by tubing systems and synchronization correction for data in batches. To simulate the wind field with an elevation of one kilometer above the ground,...
