Abstract

The present research work studies the effect of wind interference on different components of a tall building (principal building) having a rectangular-shaped cross-section due to the alteration of wind loads. The wind interference is caused by the existence of nearly located interfering buildings having the same shape in cross-section but a variable height. The numerical study is undertaken with the help of experimental results obtained from boundary layer wind tunnel experimentation on building models. Two interfering buildings are placed adjacent to the principal building and at right angles to it, in such a way so that the three buildings form a I-shape pattern in the plan view. Keeping the location same for interfering buildings, the height is varied in two different approaches: (1) Interfering building heights are varied simultaneously for both the buildings, (2) Interfering building height is varied for only one building. The effect on the response of different components of the principal building is evaluated numerically, for the height variation of interfering buildings relative to the principal building. Results are stated in the form of two-dimensional line graphs. It is seen that the twisting moment, bending moment due to across-wind forces, and across-wind displacements for columns of the building are highly affected owing to the existence of nearby interfering buildings.
