Abstract
A high-rise building in Hong Kong was investigated by means of full-scale measurements and wind tunnel tests. The dynamic properties of the building structure were identified from the recorded full-scale acceleration data. The wind tunnel experiments were also conducted to study wind-induced performance of the tall building.
