To consider aeroelastic instabilities of prismatic high-rise buildings in strong wind, wind tunnel experiments were performed to obtain the information of the unsteady aerodynamic forces as modal forces on buildings, which are subjected to the forced harmonic oscillation with a fundamental linear mode in a turbulent boundary layer. Unsteady aerodynamic forces are mainly produced by the suction forces generated by motion-induced vortices and by the vortex shedding behind buildings at rest, i.e., the vortex shedding of the Strouhal component, of which strength are varied with the oscillating amplitudes and the velocity of the incident flow. We investigated the characteristics of the unsteady aerodynamic forces varing with the amplitudes and the velocity and elucidated the mechanism of the motion-induced oscillation, by examining the arrangement, the frequency of occurrence and the interference effect of the two types of shedding vortices.
