Abstract
The modern buildings are becoming taller due to lack of land space and this makes the tall buildings more sensitive to lateral loads such as wind. The outer shape of the building is one of the main parameters which affects the design wind loads. Various types of minor corner modifications on tall buildings result a huge change in force and pressure. The present study is carried out to find the effect of corner modification on square plan-shaped tall building. The corners are modified as corner recessed, corner chamfered, and corner rounded, and a series of simulation is done in ANSYS CFX (k − e model) to find out the effects on force coefficients, pressure coefficients, wind flow pattern around the buildings, etc. The numerical analyses are done considering the model scale as 1:300 and for 0° angle of wind attack.
