**5. Conclusions**

The wind-induced response of a benchmark 340 m tall building equipped with inerter-based vibration absorber, i.e., TMDI and TID, has been investigated. The analysis has been carried out in the time-domain, by considering the time histories of aerodynamic forces computed from synchronous multi-point pressure measurements in wind tunnel tests, which accounts for the actual cross section of the building and the existing surrounding conditions. The results have been analyzed in terms of wind-induced displacement and acceleration response as well as ESWLs on the original structure, and comparatively on the building equipped with the TMD, TMDI and TID corresponding to 24 different wind directions (from 0◦ to 345◦ at an interval of 15◦).

The main contents and findings of the present work are summarized as follows:


absorbers in terms of mitigating ESWLs, which is consistent with the results of displacement mitigation effect;


The present study has focused on the design and optimization of the vibration absorbers based on the expected wind pressure, thus emphasizing the effects of wind loading on the high-rise building. Future investigations concerning the analysis of the proposed structural control systems against other types of dynamic loads, such as earthquake excitations, are currently underway.
