Notes:
An appropriate choice of building shape and architectural modifications can result in thereduction of motion by altering the flow pattern around a building. Tapering which is one ofaerodynamic devices has been known to be effective to reduce acrosswind response [1, 2]. Theexterior wind loading patterns on claddings are sensitive to the building shape. When a building hasa tapered cross section along the height, the influence of the exterior wind loading patterns on thewind-induced high-cycle fatigue damage of the cladding fastener of the tapered building needs to befound. In this study, the fatigue damage of the cladding fastener of a non-tapered building and twotapered buildings is estimated by using the rainflow cycle counting method and Miner’s rule. Thefatigue damage is compared with one another in order to investigate the influence of the taperedcross section on the fatigue damage of cladding fasteners on side faces of tall buildings
