NONLINEAR DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF WIND ACTIONS ON A CABLE-STAYED GLASS FAÇADE SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a nonlinear dynamic analysis of wind actions on a cable-stayed glass façade. The wind impact was determined by a transient eddy-resolving numerical simulation using a hybrid RANS-LES model SBES. The revealed dynamic response of the façade system confirms the relevance of dynamic calculations compared to simplified static approaches.
