Abstract

This paper studies seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings under the effect of high wind. Three types of structures of earthquake-resistant construction, damper construction and base isolation construction, two types of seismic force of moderate earthquake and severe earthquake, and three different levels of wind load are investigated.Following items were found through this study; in the case that buildings form plastic hinge mechanism, they deform into one-way and show poor energy consumption, so, their deformation remarkably increases, and this increase is controlled if the damper with the same strength as the wind load is installed in the building.
