Abstract:Windinduced responses of a single steel circular antenna with an asymmetric brace were computed considering wind speed and direction joint distribution function at location of the structure, and then windinduced fatigue life of the structure was estimated in frequency domain and time domain, respectively. Some parameters, including wind direction, surface roughness, vortexinduced resonance and mean wind speed, which would have effects on the windinduced fatigue life of the structure,were discussed. It is found that 1) wind direction has great effects on windinduced fatigue damage, that is, significant fatigue can occur in wind direction of high probability; 2) the more roughness the surface of structure is, the shorter the windinduced fatigue life is; 3) the effects of vortex resonance on windinduced fatigue life should not be neglected; 4) the mean velocity has slight impact on the windinduced fatigue life of the structure.
