Recent trends towards developing increasingly taller and
irregularly-shaped buildings have led to slender complex structures
that are highly sensitive and susceptible to wind-induced
deflection and vibration. In the design of this new generation of
tall buildings, structural engineers are facing the challenge of
striving for the most efficient and economical design solution
while ensuring that the final design must be serviceable for its
intended function, habitable for its occupants and safe over its
design life-time. The emerging performance-based design concept
provides a general framework for solving the optimal serviceability
design problems. This research aims to develop an innovative
computer- based design method for optimal performance-based design
of tall buildings achieving a satisfactory and reliable performance
in various extreme and hazard wind loading conditions. The outcome
of this research will provide a powerful computer-automated design
tool for optimal performance-based design to deliver cost-effective
low-risk design solutions for tall buildings in a typhoon-prone
city, such as Hong Kong.
