A Study on the Interaction of Structural System, Form, and Wind in High-Rise Buildings

Advances in material science, the availability of high-strength materials, improved analytical tools, and a better understanding of structural design and behavior in high-rise buildings have produced lightweight and slender generations of high-rise buildings. The effect of wind loads on high-rise buildings' design and implementation processes is an essential issue for which architecture and engineering disciplines produce solutions together. This article examines the aerodynamic design strategies of high-rise buildings in the context of the structural system, form, wind interaction. In this study, the case study method was used to collect and analyze information about high-rise buildings, and a table was created with the criterion sampling method to understand the critical factors affecting the building performance for the field study, and the obtained data was analyzed. As a result of the examination, it was determined that it is essential to consider and evaluate the aerodynamic properties of high-rise buildings as a whole during and after the design phase within the scope of the structural system, as well as the form and wind precautions to be taken.
