Abstract

Long-period ground motions pose potential risks to the safety and serviceability of supertall buildings, which was not paid sufficient attention in the past of structural seismic design. To address this issue, the comparative study presented in this paper systematically investigates the dynamic responses of a 600-m-high supertall building subjected to natural hazards including long-period ground motions, ordinary ground motions and a super typhoon with the same return periods of 50 years. The seismic responses and wind-induced responses of the supertall building are obtained based on the building's finite element model under earthquake excitation records and structural health monitoring system installed in the skyscraper, respectively. The long-period ground motions cause larger dynamic responses of the supertall building than those resulted by the ordinary ground motions or the super typhoon. This combined study of numerical analysis and field measurement provides valuable insights into the dynamic responses of a supertall building under different natural hazards, especially the long-period ground motions. The findings are expected to be of interest and practical use to the design of supertall buildings. © 2024 World Scientific Publishing Company.
