Abstract

A case study of isolated building is studied using ANSYS CFX and SAP2000. The plan idea of 30m by 60m is chosen for terminal building. The model is subjected to different wind incidence from 0° to 90° and 45° with 30° interval for 55m/s wind speed. By using tributary area method, the forces at the each mesh node are summed up to get corresponding wind force at that joint within that area. The best effective structural system is determined by designing the structure for each wind incidence. Wind analysis and design is carried out for increasing wind speed above 55m/s to identify the collapse pattern of structure. External supporting members are suggested to withstand that maximum wind speed.
