Abstract
The structural performance of reinforced concrete (RCC) frame buildings in response to wind-induced forces is crucial in high-rise construction, especially in regions with varying wind speeds. This study investigates the effects of wind loads on regular and irregular RCC frame buildings located in Wind Zones IV and V, as defined by IS 875 (Part 3): 2015. Using STAAD.Pro for structural analysis, the study evaluates and compares key structural responses, including storey displacement, shear force, bending moment, and axial force for buildings with regular (rectangular) and irregular (L-shaped and H-shaped) configurations. The findings indicate that irregular buildings exhibit higher susceptibility to wind loads, especially in higher wind zones, necessitating specialized design considerations for enhanced stability. This research aims to provide insights that can assist in the design and construction of more resilient high-rise structures in wind-prone regions.
