Simulation of wind force acting on super-high-rise building in passing typhoon

In the present paper, we propose a simulation method for the time history of the wind force acting on super-high-rise buildings due to a passing typhoon. The simulation is based on actual meteorological observations of wind speed and direction, together with the results of wind-tunnel measurements using rigid model subjected to a constant mean wind speed. In a real typhoon, the wind direction and speed can change remarkably as it passes. In the wind-tunnel experiment, the change in direction was simulated by rotating the model. The change in wind speed was simulated by adjusting the time interval for the sampled data based on equations of similarity.
