Abstract
This paper presents selected field measurement results of wind effects on a super-tall building in Hong Kong during the passage of Typhoon Hagupit in September 2008. For comparison purposes, the building's dynamic responses were re-calculated based on the high-frequency force-balance (HFFB) model data obtained in the design stage of the building and the newly identified structural dynamic properties from the field measurements. This provided an excellent opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of the model test results and the adequacy of the techniques used in wind tunnel tests. The comparison of the wind tunnel predictions and the full-scale measurements revealed that the measured acceleration data were consistent with those obtained in the model tests.
