Abstract
Characteristics of both the wind forces ar-ting on, and the responses of a square building with chamfered corners or openings are investigat ed. The wind forces acting on the building axe obtained from the wind tunnel tests. The responses of the building are calculated through the employment of modal analysis, which uses the results of the wind tunn el tests. In this study, the importance of the correlation of the wind forces in X and Y-axis for the response analysis is addressed.
