Wind load plays an important role in tall structures while designing buildings. Thus, to understand and analyses the wind effect on structures. The objective of thesis was to study and analyse the effect of wind load on different shape of the building and asses the most structurally stable shape of a multi storey structure. The present study deals with five different shapes of buildings: regular L, T, U and I. IS: 875 (Part 3)-2015 is the standard code of practice for design loads of buildings and structures which was used to calculate the gust factor. Further, all these shapes were analyzed using STAAD.Pro software. Each building is a 31 storied building with storey height as 3m summing upto a total height of 31m. For, the purpose of analysis the plan area and stiffness of the columns were kept equal. Dead loads and Live loads were calculated by using the code IS: 875-1987 (Part 1, 2) respectively. By using the Indian standard codes the combinations of loads were taken. Parameters like, storey displacement, storey drift, base shear, axial forces and base moment used for the assessment. Wind load and storey displacement increases with increase in height of structure. Based on this study it can be established that the shape of structure plays a very important role in resisting wind loads. Regular shape and I shape were the most stable shapes whereas L-shape and U-shape was the least stable of all the shapes.EnglishThesis
