Comparison of wind pressure on high-rise building obtained by numerical analysis and experimental measurements

In this article the resulting effect of wind pressure on a high-rise building obtained by an experimental measurement in the wind tunnel is compared with results of a numerical method performed according to the valid standards. The high-rise building with a circular floor plan in two variants-skeletal structural system with vertical columns and with columns with the slope was analyzed. In the calculation a load in the construction stage, where one can find the most unfavorable conditions for horizontal load, was considered. Maximum horizontal displacements of these buildings for horizontal wind load defined by the experimental and numerical method have been evaluated. The difference of reserve for numerical methods compared with the measured values in the wind tunnel has been formulated.
