Wind pressure calculation for tall building frame has always been an extensive job. Usual methods used to estimate wind load are Wind tunnel test method and Finite Element Method and specifications has been derived. In this research, with a view to eliminating drawbacks of these methods and providing a visual interpretation of wind flow a third method is introduced using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Approach. A model simulation was performed by a SPH software named SPHysics to calculate the pressure exerted on the structure and to derive a graphical interpretation of flow pattern using Para View. Values of pressure at different elevation of the building that actually occurs when wind with certain velocity flows through a tall building are found. From the data found, height vs. pressure graphs are generated which clearly supports the proportional relationship between these two parameters even with triangular and parabolic variation. Again, velocity vs. pressure graphs are plotted which also justifies inter-relationship of proportionality. This is a qualitative comparison not a quantitative one as there is many limitations regarding technicality, computer capacity, and time. These values may be crosschecked with the values found from conventional methods when more precise and suitable boundary conditions can be used in simulation. In future, with intricate detailing and suitable three dimensional modeling, more accurate value of pressure can be found with wide range of applicability. The authors are expecting derivation of two equations as a function of height and velocity to calculate wind load to use in design if further proceeding is possible. This can offer a significant benefit of simplicity for users and can be beginning a new era of using SPH in structural engineering.   Keywords - Wind force, tall structure, Particle Hydrodynamics Approach

Most tall buildings are constructed in the prosperous center of large cities, where is inevitable to be surrounded by many interfering buildings. Wind interference effects among buildings should not be neglected. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate wind interference effects on such tall buildings. Based on the wind tunnel test of rigid model of a tall building, the wind pressure distribution on the building with interfering buildings around it has been researched, the contours of the mean and fluctuate wind pressure coefficients have also been presented. It has been found that shielding effect and channeling effect are significant in the wind interference effects on building. Wind pressure coefficients on side wall and leeward wall of a upstream building may be dramatically changed in case the wake boundary of the upstream building is interfered. The conclusions might be used as reference to structural design and plan.

Wind tunnel test of 1:500 rigid model of tall building with atrium was carried out. Based on the experimental results, characteristics of wind pressures on atrium facades and wind loads on the structure were investigated in detail. The results show that the formation of flow separation on the building top plays a critical role in the generation of wind pressures on the atrium facades. Meanwhile, wind pressure coefficient distributions on the atrium facades are found to be relatively uniform. Moreover, the horizontal and vertical correlations of pressure coefficient exhibit high at most locations on atrium facades. With the increasing of the opening ratio, the mean wind pressure coefficients first decreased and then stabilized, and the fluctuating wind pressure coefficients first decreased and then increased. A design guideline for the wind-resistant design of atrium facades was proposed, and the results predicted by the proposed guideline were in good agreement with those from the wind tunnel tests, indicating that the proposed guideline can be used in engineering applications. When the opening ratio is no more than 5.33%, the effect of the facade pressures within the atrium on the wind loads on the structure can be ignored. For such cases, the wind-resistant design for a tall building with atrium can refer to that of a similar shape tall building without atrium.

Abstract: Since land is scarce in metropolitan locations, it's common for tall building to be erected in C form. With the use of software ETABS 2019, this study examines the features of wind-induced story displacement and story drift operating on tall Cshaped models, with and without shear wall. Also, empirical formulae are used for manual calculations and to obtain the wind force and designed wind pressure on C-shaped tall building using codal provisions of IS 875 (Part 3) : 2015, also its applicability has been validated by a case study. For tall C-shaped buildings, this study gives a comparative result on the effect of wind load on building, with & without shear wall on behalf of maximum story displacement and story drift.
