Abstract
The rising popularity of architectural designs featuring mono-slope roofs has led to a growing interest among researchers and engineers in the wind-induced effects on low-rise buildings. The following document provides a thorough examination of the impact of wind on low-rise structures featuring mono-slope roofing. The objective of this study is to improve the comprehension of the aerodynamic characteristics and structural reactions of these structures when subjected to wind loads. The review covers a range of topics related to wind-induced effects on low-rise buildings with mono-slope roofs. These include wind flow patterns, pressure distributions, and resultant forces that act on the structures. The present discourse pertains to the impact of building attributes, such as roof inclination, elevation, and alignment, on the wind reaction. Furthermore, the influence of the surrounding topography, encompassing open expanses and urban settings, is being analysed. The analysis underscores the difficulties encountered when evaluating wind impacts on low-rise structures featuring mono-slope roofs. These challenges include the absence of established design directives tailored to this particular architectural style. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the analytical and computational methods utilised for the study of aerodynamics and structural dynamics in buildings. Furthermore, theoretical models are validated and real-world performance insights are obtained by analysing experimental studies and field measurements conducted on existing structures. In addition, this article presents mitigation strategies and design recommendations aimed at improving the wind resistance of low-rise buildings featuring mono-slope roofs. The implementation of wind barriers, aerodynamic features, and suitable structural detailing is necessary to mitigate the effects of wind loads on the performance and structural soundness of buildings. The review's findings make a valuable contribution to the current body of knowledge by consolidating research on wind-induced effects that are specifically associated with low-rise buildings featuring mono-slope roofs. The information presented in this document can be a valuable point of reference for professionals in the fields of architecture, engineering, and research who are engaged in the planning, building, and evaluation of similar structures. The study also highlights potential areas of improvement and future research directions in comprehending the impact of wind on these structures.
