- The presence of single-sided large-span straight platforms changes the mean wind pressure distribution on the building surface. The changes were more pronounced when located on the windward side, i.e., between 0° and 90°. The most adverse positive and negative wind pressures on both the building façade and roof were generated at θ = 0°. At different wind directions, the presence of single-sided large-span straight platforms generally reduced the maximum negative pressure coefficient on the building surface, reaching a maximum reduction of 31.56% at 30°, and caused a small increase in the maximum positive pressure coefficient, reaching a maximum increase of 5.30% at 0°. When the platforms were facing the wind, an area of high pressure was created between the platforms. The mean wind pressure on the lower surface of the platform was greater than that on the upper surface. When θ ranged from 0° to 90°, the maximum pressure on the upper and lower surfaces was almost shifted from the center of the platform to the side as the wind direction θ increased, and the pressure difference was greatest on the platform near the top of the building. The platforms reduced the maximum negative pressure on the building surface and had less effect on the maximum positive pressure;
- The frequency of vortex shedding in the supertall building with the construction of multiple single-sided large-span straight platforms was slightly less than in the reference building. The platforms had a small effect on the horizontal vortex shedding of the building model. However, the presence of platforms changed the gas bypass as the wind direction θ changed in the vertical direction. When θ = 0° and θ = 30°, the vortex scale at the back of the target building was larger and the negative pressure zone formed was also larger. When θ = 90°, the bypass at the top of the two building models was similar, whereas the area of the negative pressure region on the back of the target model changed abruptly at the height where the platforms were located when θ = 180°;
- At θ = 0° and θ = 180°, the building model was subjected to the maximum crosswind moment and downwind moment, and the maximum crosswind moment and maximum downwind moment with the target building were smaller than those of the reference building. The forward and reverse torques of the target model were greatest at θ = 180° and were much greater than the reference model, while in most other operating conditions they were smaller than the reference model. The CMA and CMD correlations for the target building model were stronger than the reference model at θ = 0°; at θ = 90°, the correlations were weaker than the reference model. The maximum values of ∣Cd∣ and Cl for the building model with large-span straight platforms were smaller than those for the reference model;
- The presence of single-sided large-span straight platforms increased the vertex displacement response and decreased the vertex acceleration response of the building, with a maximum increase in vertex displacement response of 22.85% and a maximum decrease in vertex acceleration response of 9.14%. The maximum total displacement response for both the target and reference models occurred at a wind direction of θ = 120°, while the maximum total acceleration response for the target model occurred at θ = 30° and the maximum total acceleration response for the reference model occurred at θ = 0° and 180°.
