1.2 AIM
To study, analyze and control the windpressure effects on high rise buildings.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
1.4 METHODOLOGY
1.5 SCOPE
To show that aerodynamic shaping of a
building has a great importance in the
design of a tall buildings and architects
must be aware of this fact when
designing a tall building. Thus, at the
early stages of the planning of tall
buildings, it must be certainly integrated
with the other design disciplines.
1.7 FOCUS
To get a clear understanding of the how
the wind-pressure affects the high rise
buildings and what are the adverse
effects caused by it on the building,
1.6 LIMITATIONS
The only limitation with this study is the
availability of primary case study. There
aren't any tall buildings in India which
has aerodynamic form and techniques
as its primary concept. With the limited
time period in mind, doing a case study
outside India is not possible. Hence I will
be depending on the secondary
sources.
INTRODUCTION:
The tall buildings are designed chiefly to
serve the needs of the occupancy, and,
in addition to the satisfied structural
safety, one of the leading design
requirements is to meet the necessary
standards for the ease of the building
users and the serviceability. In this
context, since wind can create extreme
building motion, the active nature of
wind is a critical issue, negatively
affecting occupancy comfort and
serviceability. Moreover, the human
response to building motion is a very
complex phenomenon concerning both
physiological
and
psychological
features. Furthermore, extreme building
motion can, create noise and crack
partitions,
damage
non-structural
elements such as curtain walls, reason
for glasses to break, reduce fatigue life,
malfunction of the elevators and
equipment, and result in structural
damages or even collapse. Therefore,
the extreme vibration is a greater
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Vortex Shedding
Along wind and across wind are two
important terms, used to clarify the vortexshedding phenomenon. Along wind or simply
wind is the term used to refer to drag forces. The
across wind reaction is a motion, which happens
on a plane perpendicular to the direction of wind.
When a building is subjected to a wind flow, the
initially parallel wind stream lines are displaced
on both transverse sides of the building, and the
forces produced on these sides are called
vortices.
Cladding pressures
The cladding design for lateral loads is a
very significant subject for architects and
engineers.
Even though the wrecked glass resulting from
the exterior cladding failure may be a less
significant consideration than the structural
collapse during an earthquake, the cost of
replacement and risks for pedestrians require
cautious concentration in its design. Wind forces
play a major role in glass breakage, also
affected by solar radiation, mullion and sealant
details, tempering of the glass, double or single
glazing of glass, and exhaustion. Breaking of
large panels of glass in tall buildings can badly
damage the neighboring properties and injure
the pedestrians.
i.
Steel Buildings
Most of the tall buildings have steel
structural system due to great strength to weight
ratio ease of assembly and field installation
economy in transport to the site, accessibility of
various strength levels and wider assortment of
sections.

Tall buildings are always very stimulating to design, in terms of safety, occupant luxury, structurally etc.
Any building which is tall will have to take wind as a chief factor as a lateral load.
These wind loads can be controlled by certain methods i.e.
Using aerodynamic shape and form altering of the building according to the site conditions.
Designing the building that is structurally stable to endure these forces etc.
