Wind-induced responses of a tall chimney by aeroelastic wind tunnel test using a continuous model

•A continuous aeroelastic chimney model was manufactured with the DEVCON plastic steel liquid.•The roughness paper strips were attached to the model surface to artificially achieve effective high Reynolds number flow.•An optimal thickness of the roughness paper strips was determined.•The response of the roughened model is much smaller than that for the model without roughness element.•The across-wind acceleration response is usually larger in the more turbulent wind flow.
