摘要

The glass facade of high-rise building in coastal areas is vulnerable under typhoon. The research works in the literature on facade's wind-resistance performance, however, have some limitations to apply to this issue. During typhoon landing, the whole facade will vibrate and deform due to the change of atmosphere, temperature and impacted torrential rain, to result in a quite different strain or stress distribution in the glass facade from those in model test and wind tunnel test. In this paper, the field measurement on glass facade of a coastal high-rise building in Xiamen was performed, the wind pressure on the glass facade was measured and a large number of wind-induced stress data were obtained during typhoon landing. The relationship between wind pressure and stress or strain of the glass panel was analyzed and the situation of stress distribution was summarized.
