| Abstract |
Various types of pilotis frames are used on the ground level of high-rise buildings. In some cases, their interior finishing is destroyed by strong winds or typhoons. In the case of a corner pilotis, the peak wind pressure coefficients were greater on the ceiling than they were on the wall for all wind angles. Specifically, on the ceiling portion of a pilotis, the coefficient increased gradually from the outside to the inside in a symmetrical form that centered on the corner edge. However, the minimum peak wind pressure coefficient was greater at the center of the ceiling than it was on the edge of the pilotis' interior. Additionally, the higher the height of the pilotis, the greater the peak wind pressure coefficient was due to the turbulent flow that occurs within a pilotis. In this study, we evaluated peak wind pressures to design an interior finishing for the end edge of a pilotis and for corner piloti. In terms of specific wind angles, the maximum and minimum peak wind pressure coefficients were each observed. They were a maximum of 320° and a minimum of 270° for corner piloti and 0° and 270°, respectively, for the end edge piloti. |
