Tall Buildings and Aerodynamic Modifications against Wind Excitation

The purpose of the book is to create basic design guidance for tall buildings and their aerodynamic modifications as a resource for architects, engineers, developers, and students. It aims to make a contribution to and strengthen particularly the architect's understanding of tall building design, that requires a high level of interdisciplinary approach, by providing a broad overview of the "tall building" with its general concepts; to demonstrate the importance of human element as a critical component in the design of tall building by clarifying the wind forces and resulting movements which cause discomfort to building occupants and create serious serviceability issues; and to show the significance of aerodynamic modifications as an effective design approach in terms of mitigating wind excitation.
