Recent tall buildings tend to have irregular and unconventional shapes as a prevailing but unavoidabletrend, which is very effective for suppressing across-wind responses. Suppression of a cross-wind responses is a majorfactor in safety and habitability design of tall buildings, and the so -called aerodynamic modification method iscomprehensively used. While the effectiveness of aerodynamic modification in reducing wind loads has been widelyreported, there have been few detailed investigations of pressure fluctuations. The tests were performed on two differentmodels of tall buildings: a regular one with a prismatic shape; an irregular one whose external shape was inspired bythat of Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. The two models have the same square footprint and height. The two methodsused to measure the wind effects were: the high frequency force balance, which allows to directly measure the globalbase reactions (two forces in the plane of the base, the two overturning moments and the torsional moment around thevertical axis); the synchronous multi-pressure sensing system, which measures the pressure in several points on thesurface of the model, and allows, by means of numerical integration, to estimate both the floor loads and the basereactions
