An overview of seismic and wind loading effect on G+11 building

Abstract

Wind and Earthquake loadings are two major types of lateral dynamic excitations experienced by high rise buildings. High rise buildings refer to a conceptual design, approximate analysis, preliminary design and optimization to safely carry gravity and lateral loads. The design of high-rise buildings is basically done with reference to urban population. As the height of structure increases, the structural material required to resist lateral loads increases drastically, hence it becomes more sensitive to the lateral loads, especially wind and earthquake loads. So, these high-rise buildings should be protected from these loads to resist structural and nonstructural earthquake damage. In this paper, there is a study on comparison on seismic and wind loading on high rise buildings.
