Analytical Studies on Behaviour of High Raised Frame Structures Subjected to Wind Loads

Abstract

For design of tall buildings, wind load analysis plays a crucial role. The core objective of present work is to determine the effect of the lateral load i.e. wind load subjected to multi storey structure for a given carpet area depend on shape configuration and height of the structure theoretically/analytically using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Maximum storey drift, and maximum storey displacement are the parameters studied to study its behaviour in all wind zones.A precise plan of residential apartment building with different storeys are chosen for present study. An unreinforced building without openings is modelled using software package ETABS V16 subjected to different seismic zones as well as basic wind speeds and analysed.
