Review On BIM-Based (Revit+Robot Software) Comparative Wind Load Analysis of High-Rise RCC Buildings in Zone-III, IV and V
Abstract: Wind load is one of the most critical factors influencing the design and serviceability of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings. As building height increases, wind-induced effects such as storey drift, lateral displacement, and structural stiffness become dominant design considerations. Numerous studies have been conducted using conventional and advanced techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, limited research focuses on comparative …

Structural Load Evaluation of a Low-Rise Residential Building (G+4) Using STAAD.Pro: A Review
Abstract: The structural analysis and design of multi-story residential buildings have become more complex because cities continue to grow while safety requirements become more demanding and building codes establish stricter requirements. The traditional methods of structural analysis worked through manual execution which required extended periods to complete and suffered from computational errors that primarily affected indeterminate structures and lateral loading conditions. This review paper providesa detailed evaluation of previous works related …

Aerodynamic Effects of Wind on Multi-Story Structures: A Height- and Terrain-Based Analysis
Abstract: Wind loads are a critical consideration in the structural design of buildings, with direct implications for safety and serviceability. This study investigates the aerodynamic behavior of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) buildings under varying heights and terrain conditions, in accordance with IS: 875 (Part 3): 2015. 12 structural models representing 20 m, 35 m, and 50 m tall buildings were analyzed using extended three-dimensional analysis of building system (ETABS) across four …

Evaluation of Shear Walls and Bracings in Irregular Buildings Under Seismic Load
Abstract: The structural integrity and stability of irregular buildings under lateral forces such as wind and seismic loads pose significant challenges in modern construction practices. Irregularities in a building & geometry and mass distribution can lead to uneven force distribution, making the structure more vulnerable to lateral displacement and potential failure. To enhance the resilience of such structures, shear walls and bracing systems are commonly employed to improve lateral load resistance. …

Wind’s Influence on Tall Buildings with Different Aspect Ratios
Abstract: Skyscrapers and other large buildings are being constructed worldwide these days. Because wind is so dynamic, it plays a major part in the design of these towering structures. The placement and height of such structures have a major impact on how wind affects them. The comparable static approach is used in this work to evaluate wind loads on structures with variable aspect ratios attained by altering the number of bays. …
