The LingZhao Veranda in the Forbidden City is a historical building, built of steel and masonry parts. To protect the building effectively, the windinduced responses of the building were studied by digital simulation. Based on its structural status, a finite element model of the LingZhao veranda was built. Then the basic frequency and main vibration modes were calculated. After applying a fluctuating wind pressure over a period equivalent to 50 years in thedirection, the vibration responses were analyzed, and the safety status of the whole structure was evaluated. The results show that the basic frequency of the structure is f=5.75Hz; its main modes vibratein both x and ydirections. Under conditions offluctuating wind, the structure keeps vibrating at a stable rate. However, peak acceleration values on the top of the structure are quite large. Compared with the steel parts, the masonry parts of the building are more proneto damage because of tensile strength failure. The different responses to wind require attention during daily maintenance.
