Field measurement of wind-induced response of a tall building during typhoon using GPS technology

Field measurement data captured during the passing of typhoon Kammuri by an integrated GPS and accelerometer measurement system has been used to study the responses and dynamic characteristics of a full-scale tall building. This research aims to investigate how GPS and accelerometer sensors perform relative to each other, and to determine the global deformation displacements, including quasi-static and resonant components, under typhoon conditions provided by GPS technology. Dynamic characteristics of the subjected building were also indentified from both acceleration and displacement time series observations
