Abstract: It is a big challenge that tall buildings must withstand the various forces acting from different directions and aspects
such as seismic and wind forces. While designing tall structures it is mandatory to deeply understand the seismic and wind
behavior of multi-story buildings. Present study deals with the literature review on the behavior of the seismic and wind
performance of regular and irregular structures by changing height and terrain category on different structures. The modeling
and analysis of the previous structures were studied in perceptive of their shapes and zone-V. The buildings are modeled and
analyzed by using ETABS software. Seismic analysis as per IS 1893-2016 and wind analysis as per IS 875 Part 3 was studied.
Different types of parameters such as storey drift, storey displacement, base shear, overturning moment, acceleration and time
period were studied. It has been found from the previous study that difference between the regular and irregular models gave
variation in the displacement, drift due to the lateral forces acting on both types of buildings.
Keywords: Multi-storey building, seismic analysis, storey displacements, storey drift, overturning moment.
Introduction
Wind load and seismic load plays an important role while designing tall structures because remaining all other loads have
variations in a very small margin, the present study deals with the seismic and wind load effect of a regular and irregular
multi-story building. If a building is designed with high resistance towards wind the structure will become more expensive. To
keep the proper balance between the economy and safety it is compulsory to deeply understand the relation between the
behavior of buildings subjected to wind force acting on the buildings.
The wind has two important components, static and dynamic. The dynamic character of wind contains mean wind velocity and
varying gust velocity. It is important to consider while designing high rise buildings the resistance against wind are not too
much, high rise buildings are weak in resistance against wind. Tall structures are the major projects during designing they
need vailed logistics and should be well managed. Proper arrangement of structural components and the shape of structure
minimize the lateral displacement and decrease the overall cost of structures.
The standard method for the design of tall buildings in the past was in the form of rectangular shape, mostly but nowadays
much more complex geometries are in practice. Tall structures consider four main important factors such as stiffness,
ductility, regular and simple structure, and ample lateral strength. Regular geometry structures in plan and elevation possess
less damage than the irregular configuration. According to IS1893-2016, a building should be irregular when it is not
symmetrical and have a discontinuity in geometry, mass, or load, these irregularities create problems in action of forces and
stress distribution. Structure analysis plays a vital role to determine the behavior of the structures which are subjected to
some action. Wind, waves, traffic, earthquake, and blasts are dynamic loads, if dynamic loads are applied on a structure,
performance of the structure get decreased under severe seismic loading due to structure symmetry, due to asymmetry of
structure member forces increased and ultimately structure collapsed
Concept of regular and irregular configuration The latest earthquake codes differentiates regular and irregular structures
in terms of shape and size of the structure, assigning of the structural and non-structural components within the structure, and
mass distribution of the structure.
Plan Irregularity A symmetric or plan irregular structures are both translational and torsional and results in stiffness and
mass eccentricity in the structure. Because of uncertainty in the evaluation of the center of mass and stiffness, inaccuracy in
the dimensions of structural elements, asymmetry may exist in a normal symmetric structure.
Vertical irregularity It is caused in the building due to the unbalance distribution of mass and stiffness along the elevation.
Mass irregularity and stiffness irregularity are due to abrupt change in mass and stiffness in the vertical direction of floors
