WIND-STR-002 : Estimation of Wind Force for TALL Structures as per IS 875 (PART 3) : 2015

Brief about the course

Wind forces & pressures are important in the design of structures being frequently occurring phenomenon. The fundamental IS code related to wind forces (IS 875- Pt. 3) was revised in 2015 and two amendments have been so far issued. It generated few practical difficulties and there are few clauses of the code on which discussion is required. We launched an online course WIND-STR-001 focusing on the estimation of wind force for low rise structures. After successful completion of the course for estimation of wind force for low rise structures (WIND-STR-001), an online course is launched for tall structures : WIND-STR-002.

Wind forces & associated response of Tall buildings is much important not only for design of building but also from the point of view of acceleration & human comfort, surrounding wind flow pattern changes, glazings & facade design, pedestrian level comfort etc. Dynamic response evaluation is critical & particularly across wind response for tall slender buildings. Interference among buildings when they exist in a cluster are still not fully well understood and documented.

The course will focus on wind force estimation for tall structures as per IS 875 (Part 3):2015.  The course will cover important aspects like wind characteristics, dynamic effects, dynamic response of structures, galloping, flutter, vortex shedding, gust factor calculations etc. along with few worked out examples.  The course will also cover wind tunnel testing requirements and interference effects for tall structures.

By purchasing the course, you will get access to recording of previous online course WIND-STR-001. There are total 9 recorded sessions (each session~1hr+ duration). Access of the videos will be available for 90 days from the enrollment.
