Wind is a phenomenon of great complexity because of the many flow situations arising from the interactionof wind with structures. Wind is composed of a multitude of eddies of varying sizes and rotational characteristics carriedalong in a general stream of air moving relative to the earth’s surface. Effect of wind on sky scraper structures showsthat if the structures are not well designed and constructed with and adequate strength it leads to the complete collapseof the structures. Specific lateral loading due to wind load along with vertical gravity loads is important for finding thebehavior of the tall buildings. As the height of a building becomes taller, the amount of structural material required toresist lateral loads increases drastically. The design of Sky scraper buildings essentially involves a conceptual design,approximate analysis, preliminary design and optimization, to safely carry gravity and lateral loads. The design criteriaare strength, serviceability and human comfort. The aim of the structural engineer is to arrive at suitable structuralschemes, to satisfy these criteria. In the present study, the limit state method of analysis and design of Sky scrapers underwind load as per IS codes of practice is described. Analysis and design the Sky scraper structure under the effect of windforce by using ETABS-2015 that is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design ofbuildings. Indian standard code of practice IS-875 (Part 3: 1987) for wind guidelines and methodology are used toanalyzed and designed building.
