Abstract

The increasing trend of vertical construction has made wind effects a critical consideration in the design of tall reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings. The response of such structures is largely governed by their geometric configuration, stiffness characteristics, and modelling accuracy under wind loading conditions Wind loads are evaluated based on standard provisions such as IS 875 (Part 3): 2015, which provide essential guidelines for structural safety This study focuses on evaluating the wind-induced performance of a 28-storey RCC high-rise structure through a performance-based approach using parametric Building Information Modelling (BIM) integrated with finite element analysis. BIM-based workflows enhance modelling accuracy and reduce inconsistencies compared to traditional approaches A detailed three-dimensional model is created in Autodesk Revit and subsequently linked to Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis for applying wind loads. The analysis is carried out using the finite element method to determine key structural responses such as lateral displacement, storey drift, and stiffness distribution. Previous research highlights that plan geometry plays a significant role in governing wind-induced behaviour in tall buildings .To examine this effect, three configurations are analysed: Square (33,000 mm × 33,000 mm), Rectangular (33,000 mm × 20,000 mm), and L-shaped (33,000 mm × 52,000 mm). Studies indicate that irregular plan shapes result in higher torsional effects and increased displacement under wind loads .The findings reveal that the rectangular configuration performs most efficiently under wind loading, showing the least lateral displacement (approximately 14.5–15.5 cm), while the square configuration exhibits moderate behaviour (16.5–18.0 cm). In contrast, the L-shaped configuration shows the highest displacement (21.0–23.0 cm) due to torsional irregularity.The results clearly indicate that buildings with regular and symmetrical layouts provide improved resistance to wind forces, whereas irregular shapes tend to amplify deformation and torsional response. In addition, the integrated BIM–FEM workflow ensures better coordination, minimizes modelling errors, and improves analytical efficiency.

Keywords: BIM-based wind analysis, Autodesk Revit, Robot Structural Analysis, High-rise building, Plan shape effect.
