Abstract

Wind vibration coefficient is one of the key factors for wind-resistant design of cooling tower, at present, the wind vibration coefficients given by Chinese cooling tower design codes are only associated with terrain roughness, but ignoring the effect of structure dynamic characteristics which are closely related with them. This paper use Consistent Coupling Method-CCM to get the values and distributions of wind vibration coefficients of three different hyperbolic cooling towers with similar shape ratio but different heights, the results shows that: the wind-induced response of cooling towers are closely associated with their heights, and the usual correspondence of Unified value to different cooling towers with different heights is worth deliberate. This conclusion may provide some performances to structure design and research on wind-resistant reliability of cooling tower.
