Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of tall buildings subjected to wind loads using ETABS software. The dynamic nature of wind forces and their impact on high-rise structures necessitate precise modeling and evaluation to ensure structural safety and serviceability. The study incorporates wind load as per Indian Standard IS 875 (Part 3) and ASCE 7-16 provisions, applied on a representative 30-story building model. The effect of wind-induced forces on structural elements, such as lateral displacements, base shear, and story drifts, is examined. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of ETABS in simulating wind loads and analyzing structural responses, providing essential insights for design optimization and safety assurance of tall buildings.
