Abstract Wind is a perceptible natural motion of air relative to earth surface, especially in the form of air current blowing in a particular direction. Wind loads is caused by difference in pressure. In this discussion calculation of wind response of structure for various parameters by static method by considering the effect of change in terrain category as described by the code (IS 875:1987 PART III). manually and by user SAP-2000 program. Typical results of variation of Displacement, Storey drift, Time period and Base shear have been included. The analysis of these building using present code indicates that for Terrain category 1,2,3 and 4 by static method. Then beam with normal slab is compared with flat slab in terrain category 1 for different shape of building in static method.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Now a days world is behind modernization and the new technics in construction. Due to this there is an increase in traffic and less availability of land which necessitate the construction of tall building. Such structure generally exhibits an increase susceptibility to the action of wind. Wind is the phenomenon of great complicity because of many flow arising from the interaction of wind with the structure. Wind is caused by difference in temperature over the earth surface. As per the national building code 2015 of INDIA building height more than 15m is considered as tall building. Generally, such structure is more affected by the action of wind. The structure engineer should ensure that the structure should be safe and serviceable during its anticipated life even if it is subjected to wind load on tall structures. Wind impacts on structure can be named as:

    1. Static Impact

    2. Dynamic Impact

    1. Static Impact

      Static wind impact basically causes elastic bending and twisting of structure. This method is used for analysis of low rise structure.

    2. Dynamic Impact

    For high rise, long traverse and thin buildings a dynamic analysis of the buildings is vital, Wind gusts cause unstable wave forces on building which induce huge dynamic movements, as well as oscillations.

    1. Parabolistic Approach

      In several engineering sciences intensity of definite procedure in taken to function of period repetition interval. For example, in hydrology the rain fall intensity predicable one time in an area is taken in terms of return period for the reason that that rain predictable one time in 10 years is lesser than the one predictable once in 50 years. Likewise, in wind engineering wind speed is taken to contrast with return periods.

    2. Wind turbulence

      Turbulence is nothing but motion of wind. The exact meaning for turbulence is little hard to define excepting to express that it will occurs due to wind flow for the reason that viscosity of air is very low nearly one sixteenth of water. If the speed of the air is more than 2-3miles per hour, then it is called wind is in turbulence.it will cause random movement of air particles in all section.

    3. Vortex Shedding

      Generally, wind buffeting in contrast to a bluff form will get diverted in three mutually perpendicular directions, resulting to the forces and moments about three directions. Though all six components are important in the aeronautical engineering, in civil and structural engineering, forces and moments corresponding to the vertical axis (lift and yawing moment) are of less important. Thus, sidewise from uplift forces on large roof parts, the motion of wind is made easy and taken in two dimensional consisting of along wind and traverse wind.

    4. Response parameters

      Induced wind response of a high rise structure is a function of many parameters. These include the dynamic and geometric properties of structure and turbulence characteristic of the flow. Some of analytical approaches can be used for the calculation of the wind induced response of the tall structures in along and across wind direction.

    5. Torsional Wind Load

      The twisting motion of a bluff body subjected to air flow results from the non-uniform pressure distribution around the wall face of the body. This mechanism was generally studied through measuring aerodynamic loads in wind tunnel tests on bluff bodies with varying shapes, presence of other interfering bodies and various angle of the approaching flow. Codes and standards do not give appropriate procedure for computing the torsional wind response.

    6. Terrain Catagories

    Selection of terrain categories shall be made with due regard to the effect of obstructions which constitute the ground surface roughness. The terrain category used in the design of structure may vary depending on the direction of wind under consideration.

    Category 1 – Exposed open terrain with rare or no obstructions and in which the average height of any object surrounding the structure is less than 1.5 m.

    Category 2 – Open territory with well scattered obstructions having heights generally between 1.5 to 10 m.

    Category 3 – Territory with several closely spaced obstructions having the size of building-structures up to 10 m in height with or without a few isolated tall structures.

    Category 4 – Terrain with several large high closely spaced obstructions. This category includes large city centres, usually with obstructions above 25m and well developed industrial complexes.

  2. METHODLOGY

    In this paper, the buildings have been analyzed under wind analysis in SAP 2000 (V19). SAP 2000is software used for analysis and design of building. Both linear and nonlinear analysis can be done by SAP 2000.

    Here, linear static analysis has been used for analyzing the building. For the study, compare the flat slab and beam column, Variation of stiffness and different shapes of building under the action of wind load is considered. There are 5 number of bays in the study of flat slab and 6 bays in shape effect in both X and Y directions and each bay is 8m. The typical storey height is 3m. The RC structural members are designed as per code provisions. The slab thickness is 150mm. The total height of building in 75m(G+24).

    1. Design of wind loads

      The Indian wind code suggests two methods for computation of wind loads on buildings and other structures, viz., force co-efficient or static method and dynamic or gust factor method.

      1. Static Method

        As per Force co-efficient process or static method the structural design wind loads are estimated by considering following equations:

        Vz= Vb*k1*k2*k3 pz = 0.6 Vz2

        Where pz-design wind pressure in N/m2 at height z Vb-basic wind speed

        Vz- design wind speed at any height in m/s k1- probability factor

        k2- terrain, height and structure size factor k3- topography factor

        The topography factor k3 is given by the following: ks = 1+ Cs

        s s a consider determined understanding with C-2.1 (IS 875 Part 3) fitting to the stature, H above mean ground level and the separation, X, from the summit or peak in respect to the powerful length, Le. Table 1 shows k3 factor for different angle of slope.

  3. ANALYSIS

    The buildings were modelled in SAP 2000with the parameters from table 1. The buildings were analyzed and designed by applying dead loads and live loads before applying the lateral loads to check the safety of the structure. Once the building is safe, lateral loads were applied.

    Table below shows the parameters that are considered in this study.

      Fig 7. Storey displacement for different shape of structures

      From the Fig 7. shows that T shaped structure has more displacement compare to other structure in all 4 categories.

    3. Variation of Stiffness

    For the variation of stiffness, the column sizes are changed for structure but the size of the beam kept constant for whole structure. The beam size will be 300X600mm and slab dimension will be 200mm. Column size 300X450mm, 450X600mm, 450X750mm.

    The below table shows the displacement for the variation of stiffness.

    Fig 8. Storey displacement for change of stiffness

    From the Fig 8 shows that column size 300X450mm has more displacement compare to other structure.

  5. CONCLUSION

The different cases studied that are presented in this report led to following conclusions:

  1. Displacement is maximum at top story and it reduce to zero at the base. Displacement will increase by increase in story height in static method.

  2. Displacement is higher for Category 1 compared to all other categories, as the category increase displacement will decrease for all shape.

  3. Joint displacement in beam column model is more than flat slab in both solid model and open model.

  4. Displacement in different shapes of structures, T shape having more displacement.

  5. For the variation of stiffness smaller size of column having more displacement compare to larger size of column.

  6. Storey drift is increasing from 1st storey to 5th (15m) storey, then its starts to decrease from 5th to top storey in all types of structures in static method.
