Shape effects on the wind induced response of high rise buildings

This paper will explore the shape effect of building against the wind load using design software STADD pro and the load analysis are done on the basis of FEA method. For high rise construction needs to know the expected wind loads on the building so that to work out proper resistance systems to counteract the wind loads. The present study looks to examining the wind loading patterns on various shapes of building on direction basis. The computed wind loads are also benchmarked against standards code, IS:875-1987(part-3). In present paper the test models of G+20, G+40, G+60, G+80 with different shapes like square, rectangular, circular, hexagonal are established and then find out their results for maximum displacement and compare software results with manual analysis.
