Abstract:The existing theories for along-wind loads on slender structures, based on the “strip assumption” overlook the three-dimensionality of turbulence. However, numerous experimental phenomena contradicting the “strip assumption” highlight the need to consider the effects of three-dimensional turbulence (3D effect). This study develops an analysis model that considers the three-dimensionality of turbulence and derives a function containing the section-shape-dependent characteristic parameters to represent the 3D ef… Show more
