Wind Load Analysis of RC Structure Resting on Sloping Ground by using ETABS

Abstract

Wind load is regarded as one of the crucial design loads that a structure must withstand throughout its lifetime. The impact of wind speed on the building frame has been investigated in this research. Due to a lack of available land, buildings lying on slopes were taken into consideration for the study. The 40-story, three-dimensional building frame is modelled and examined for wind zones of 33 m/s and 39 m/s, respectively. It rests on slopes of 5°, 10°, and 15°. ETABS software is used to perform the modelling and analysis as necessary. The maximum storey displacement and maximum storey drift are the factors taken into account for the post-analysis. For ground slopes and wind speeds, all the parameters have been compared, and the findings have been compiled and graphically shown.
