ABSTRACT - The rapid increase in the population in
developing countries such as India has an acute shortage of
land and space. To get rid of all these problems, people have
resorted to multi-story or tall buildings both for commercial as
well as for residential purposes. As the weight of the building
increases wind flow is an important consideration for the
designers. Tall building considering categories like relative
height, proportion, and structural design. Under the Relative
height categories, we call a building is tall depending upon the
height relative to the surrounding structures. Most importantly
from the structural design point of view, those buildings which
are subjected to gravity loads are not considered as tall
buildings only those which are additionally subjected to lateral
loads like wind loads, etc. are referred to as tall buildings. But
when we go higher wind excitation becomes one of the most
precarious forces acting on the surface of the structure and if
the plan geometry is irregular Also direction of wind plays a
very vital role in the behavior of the structure. In this Research
paper, we study the various types of the spect ratios of the
building and the effect of wind forces on the building and also
we study about, four-building models having different
Horizontal Aspect ratios viz. 1, 2.25, 4 & 9 and height of the
building is 96m.
Key Words: Aspect Ratio, Horizontal Aspect Ratio, Wind
Load, Tall Building, Wind Pressure
1. INTRODUCTION
The major effects of wind on buildings can be generalized to
some degree because of the bracketed range of
characteristics that coverall conditions in shape, resulting in
various aerodynamic responses. Some buildings have stiff
structures, resulting in a limited range of variations of the
structure. The wind being fluid is composed of circular eddies
of varying sizes and rotational characteristics. These eddies
give gusty or turbulent character to the wind which causes a
significant effect on the object that comes in its way. The
building surface resists the flow of the fluid over them. The
fluid exits reaction force on the building which is called drag.
The wind also creates vortex shedding in the building in the
opposite direction of the wind flow which creates and
tremendous load on the building and it differs with the shape
of the body that the fluid encounters. The Reynolds number
for when having turbulent flow characteristics will be
approximately around this value and we know for the same
fluid velocity of the drag, or the resistance is much higher in
the non-streamlined body shapes like cubes and cylinders.
Thus, while designing tall structures engineers take into
consideration the shape of the building and for a few shapes
having lesser Drag coefficient.
The Tall building RCC structures’ construction, high-speed
wind forces are known to be causing vibrations and
oscillations in the structures. All structures undergo several
shape changes under loading.
1.1 ASPECT RATIO
Aspect ratios are of two types of horizontal aspect ratio and
vertical aspect ratio. In our research paper, we work on the
horizontal aspect ratio. Horizontal aspect ratio is the ratio of
L/B which is length L to the base B. The horizontal Aspect
Ratio is also called the plan aspect ratio.

1.2 OBJECTIVES
To study the behavior of tall high-rise buildings which is
subjected to wind loads.
To study the effect of the shape of the building in the plan
on the behavior of the structure.
To study the various aspect ratio of the building of the
same area.
To determine the effect of wind force on various
parameters like maximum displacements, maximum
story drift, shear force, a bending moment in the
building.
To define the best suitable Aspect ratio in tall buildings
that can provide sound wind loading by observing the
comparative studies.
To make high rise structure in Software which is used for
the structural design called ETABS.
