A novel approach to full-aeroelastic model design is presented, considering continuous structures and coupled modes. Its validity is proven by building a full-aeroelastic CAARC standard tall building model featuring 12-degrees-of-freedom at 1:360 scale. A complete description of its design, manufacturing, tuning, and dynamic identification is reported. The model is tested in a novel wind-tunnel experimental campaign performed at the CRIACIV facility (Prato, Italy). A comparative study of aerodynamic and full-aeroelastic response in terms of base moment and accelerations shows that the aerodynamic model tends to overpredict the response along the broader side of the model. The contribution of second modes is found to be relevant for induced acceleration at the rooftop.

Abstract
A novel approach to full-aeroelastic model design is presented, considering continuous structures and coupled modes. Its validity is proven by building a full-aeroelastic CAARC standard tall building model featuring 12-degrees-of-freedom at 1:360 scale. A complete description of its design, manufacturing, tuning, and dynamic identification is reported. The model is tested in a novel wind-tunnel experimental campaign performed at the CRIACIV facility (Prato, Italy). A comparative study of aerodynamic and full-aeroelastic response in terms of base moment and accelerations shows that the aerodynamic model tends to overpredict the response along the broader side of the model. The contribution of second modes is found to be relevant for induced acceleration at the rooftop.Pubblicazioni consigliate
