ST7009 WIND AND CYCLONE EFFECTS ON STRUCTURES L T P C 3 0 0 3 

OBJECTIVES:

 To study the concept of wind and cyclone effects for the analysis and design of structures.

UNIT I INTRODUCTION 9 

Introduction, Types of wind – Characteristics of wind – Wind velocity, Method of measurement, variation of speed with height, shape factor, aspect ratio, drag effects - Dynamic nature of wind – Pressure and suctions - Spectral studies, Gust factor. 

UNIT II WIND TUNNEL STUDIES 9 

Wind Tunnel Studies, Types of tunnels, - Prediction of acceleration – Load combination factors – Wind tunnel data analysis – Calculation of Period and damping value for wind design - Modeling requirements, Aero dynamic and Aero-elastic models.

UNIT III EFFECT OF WIND ON STRUCTURES 9 

Classification of structures – Rigid and Flexible – Effect of wind on structures - Static and dynamic effects on Tall buildings – Chimneys.

UNIT IV DESIGN OF SPECIAL STRUCTURES 9 

Design of Structures for wind loading – as per IS, ASCE and NBC code provisions – design of Tall Buildings – Chimneys – Transmission towers – Industrial sheds. 

UNIT V CYCLONE EFFECTS 9 

Cyclone effect on – low rise structures – sloped roof structures - Tall buildings. Effect of cyclone on claddings – design of cladding – use of code provisions in cladding design – Analytical procedure and modeling of cladding. 
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS 

OUTCOMES:

 On completion of this course, students will be able to design high rise structures subjected wind load, even structures exposed to cyclone.
 Students will be conversant with various code provisions for the design of structures for wind load.
