Dynamic analysis of the Milad Tower

Abstract

Abstract. This report involves the modelling of the Milad Tower using the finite element analysis program Strand7. A dynamic analysis was performed on the structure in order to understand the deflections and stresses as a result of earthquake and wind loading. In particular, Linear Static as well as Natural Frequency and Spectral Response solvers were used to determine the behaviour of the structure under loading. The findings of the report highlight that the structure was modelled accurately with the outputs representing realistic values. The report suggests that the design of the beams, columns, slabs and all structural members was sufficient enough to support the tower during maximum loading cases. The governing load case was earthquake loading.

Identifying the dynamic characteristics of super tall buildings by multivariate empirical mode decomposition

“…Figure 2 shows the position of acceleration sensors. A number of numerical and experimental studies have been carried out to identify dynamic characteristics of the building and enhance the performance of the tower against lateral loads 33–36 . In most cases, FFT is used to recognize the tower's condition.…”

A review of the application of the simulated annealing algorithm in structural health monitoring (1995-2021)

“…Therefore, developing a high-fidelity FEM of the complex structures takes considerable effort [19]. To perform a dynamic analysis [20] of Milad Tower (shown in Fig. 1), a reliable FEM is carried out by Strand7 software [21], which can be implemented in future damage detection methodologies.…”

Effect of Wind Load on Milad Tower and Adjacent Buildings Case study: Shed Adjacent to Tower

“…There was Hurricane Mujigae, two hurricane-related hurricanes in October 2015 in Guangdong, China, and a tornado in June 2016 in Yancheng, China. Considering the effects of lateral wind and earthquake loads on Milad Tower, Wilhelm et al [5] evaluated the dynamic behavior of Milad Tower. A thorough study has been conducted to study the effects of wind on this tower by Yahyai et al [6].…”

“…As a result of Cheng and Fu's [13] study, hemispherical domes have been investigated for turbulent and laminar boundary layer flow. A study by the authors found that the sensitivity of pressure distribution on the hemisphere decreased as the Reynolds number increased above (1-2) ×10 5 for the turbulent boundary layer flow. Using machine learning techniques, Hu and Kwok [14] collected wind data for different cylindrical engineering structures at various Reynolds numbers and provided statistical aerodynamic estimations.…”
