The executive summary from a 2018 Research Award winning project.

The project aimed to analyse the wind and dynamic response data of a 47 floor and 150 metre-high tower in London.

This project was a collaboration between Daniel Gonzalez-Fernandez and John McDonald of the Department of Civil Engineering at Bristol University, Branislav Titurus of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Bristol University, and Alessandro Margnelli of AKT II Ltd.
