A numerical procedure for the dynamic response of tall buildings subject to turbulent wind excitation

In this work a procedure for computing the dynamic response of tall buildings to wind gust buffeting phenomena is proposed. In fact, classical approaches for the determination of the structural response to wind loads tend to be over-simplified for complex structures. Moreover, significant advances have been recently made in wind tunnel testing, this resulting on significant pressure for the development of numerical techniques capable of exploiting experimental results, though satisfying code provisions.
