| Abstract | In recent years, the number of buildings has been increased and there are trends that those buildings are being planned with increasing scale and more complex structural refinement throughout the world. Wind load is one of the most significant loads for structural design. In general engineering practice, the structural engineers define wind loading by calculation fallowing the guiding of international wind codes or standard. However, the wind loading by fallowing base codes cannot provide accurate or realistic wind effects, or wind loading for some structures are not provided by base codes. Therefore, this thesis will demonstrate “the equivalent static wind force by the effective static load distributions” with weight factor combination method on low-rise building in sub-urban terrain. This technique will combine three components of wind loading: the mean component which is mean wind force, the background component which is quasi static force generated from the fluctuation of wind loading and the resonant component which is inertial force produced by the vibration of structure. The static wind effects by these equivalent static wind forces are compared with the dynamic wind effects from the dynamic analysis in order to verify that the equivalent static wind force by the fundamental method of this thesis can provide the accurate or realistic wind effects. “Moreover, the equivalent static wind force by combined load method on low-rise building in sub-urban terrain are compared with the equivalent static wind force from base codes,” which are the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE) and the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) in order to ensure that “the equivalent static wind force from base codes ” is safe and adequate for structural design of low-rise building. |
