摘要

The construction of low-rise structures e.g., warehouses, resorts etc. is done using multi-span low-rise building in different plans like single line (back-to-back), C, Z, T, L, etc. Also, the shape of roof plays a critical role to withstand against the wind loads. Due to peak gust of wind, the roof of low-rise structures gets damaged and less information for multi-span low-rise building is available i.e., only for gable roof in IS 875 (Part-3):2015. Due the absence of information about wind loads on low-rise structures arranged in different patterns, it is very difficult to presume the wind load acting on such types of structures. Additionally, several recent studies have revealed that CFD simulation is a highly effective and dependable method for conducting wind studies on different types of structures. This is especially valuable when considering the limitations of accessibility, time consumption, and cost associated with traditional wind tunnel experiments. Therefore, in the present study, the wind effects analysis on cylindrical roof of T-plan multi-span low-rise building is done using numerical investigation through CFD simulation using k-Ɛ turbulence model. It was observed that the pressure fluctuations on three adjacent windward roofs exhibited a consistent pattern, and similarly, the pressure variations on the other three leeward roofs, arranged in a back-to-back configuration, were identical. The maximum and minimum wind induced pressure on three windward roofs was found to be acting during 0° and 75° wind incidence respectively and maximum wind induced pressure on three leeward roofs was found during 105° and minimum pressure was during 45° and 165° respectively. Isolated low-rise structures are at a higher risk of wind-induced damage. Consequently, in order to withstand elevated wind loads, it is imperative to design multi-span buildings with diverse configurations. The findings of this current study promise substantial benefits and a substantial contribution to wind safety standards.
