A Comparative Study of Analyzing the Impact of Various RCC Building Shapes on Wind Performance

Abstract

The analysis, design, and creation of high-rise buildings necessitate a comprehensive information of wind-induced vibration, a critical factor that considerably impacts structural integrity. In this context, the existing study undertakes an exploration of the results of wind load on diverse building shapes, aiming to envision the most structurally stable configuration for multi-storey structures. Focusing usually on L-form and H-form buildings, the studies conduct a comparative evaluation to assess how wind load influences those distinct shapes. Each case study represents a structure located in Wind zone IV with Terrain category II, adhering to the specs mentioned in IS 875(part-3): 2015 standards. Emphasizing reinforced concrete (RCC) framed structures, the research delves into the repercussions of wind loads on critical parameters including maximum shear force, bending moment, and storey displacement. The resulting data is meticulously presented through tables and charts, elucidating the overall performance metrics for every case (H-shape and L-form) in terms of storey displacement, shear force, bending moment, and axial force. Eventually, an intensive evaluation is conducted to determine any disparities in structural behaviour and reaction to wind loads a number of the various constructing shapes, providing precious insights into most efficient design concerns for enhancing structural stability and resilience in excessive-rise constructions.
