Wind load is an important horizontal loading for high rise building design. The design wind loads can be established through either wind-tunnel testing or building wind code. In this paper, a 30-story building located in Taipei City was instrumented and monitored during strong typhoons. The building's dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies and damping ratios are identified from monitoring data. The Finite Element model of the target building was built initially from the construction blueprints and subsequently updated according to the field monitoring results. Wind tunnel tests were conducted in a long patch of simulated upstream terrain. The wind tunnel test results were applied to the FE model to estimate the building responses and the equivalent static design wind loads. These results were compared with the field data and building wind code. It is found that results of carefully designed wind tunnel test can reasonably estimate building's wind induced behaviors. Current building wind code tends to underestimate the alongwind loading and the existence of surrounding building could introduce mean acrosswind and torsional loadings that make building wind code slightly unconservative.
