Avaliação da resposta estrutural dinâmica não-determinística de edifícios quando submetidos a ações do vento (Assessment of buildings non-deterministic dynamic structural response when subjected to wind actions)

The construction of high-rise buildings has emerged as a constructive trend worldwide, and excessive vibration problems due to wind actions are becoming increasingly frequent. The Brazilian design standard NBR 6123 recommends that the transfer of wind actions used for structural analysis be carried out based on the pressure coefficients along the building facades for static analyses and considers their non-deterministic dynamic behaviour through a stochastic modelling method of the wind velocity field. To present an alternative approach to this methodology, this study aims to investigate the non-deterministic dynamic structural response of a real reinforced concrete building, considering the soil-structure interaction effect, using the pressure coefficients obtained through different methodologies such as numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), international databases, and the recommendations of the Brazilian standard NBR 6123.
