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.
So, In the next session, we will focus our discussion on “Wind force estimation for low rise structures as per IS 875 (Pt. 3) : 2015”. Tall buildings & Wind tunnel testing will be covered in the future sessions. Er. Dr. ABHAY GUPTA will join with us in the live stream as a guest expert.
