Abstract

Instrumentation has been mounted at three levels on a free-standing latticed tower on the National Taiwan University campus at Taipei to gather wind velocity data on a weekly basis as well as during strong wind periods. Results obtained from analysis of 16 ambient wind records, and four records obtained during the passage of typhoon Andy, are presented. These show that the data can be represented quite adequately by the Weibull distribution and that the composite power-law exponents for ambient and typhoon conditions are 0.278 and 0.223, respectively, at the project site. Two more levels of instrumentation will be added and data collection and analysis will be continued.
