INTRODUCTION
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, interpretation of results and interference effects for tall structures.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?
The course is designed by the experienced engineers (Er. Dr. Abhay Gupta & Mr. Bhavin Shah) who have together more than five decades of experience in the field of structural engineering.
- The entire course is designed from the practical aspects which can be readily used in the real projects.
- The course is designed to have an interactive mode so that the problems / doubts of the participants can be addressed.
- Recordings will be shared with the registered participants.
Certificate will be issued on successful completion of the online course.

METHODOLOGY
- The entire course is designed in the ONLINE mode.
- The course will spread over two weeks with approximate 9+ contact hours.
- During two weeks of time, the interaction can be done with faculty using customised discussion forum.
- The course includes few worked out examples wherein the participants will get hands on experience related to wind force estimation for tall structures as per IS 875 (Part 3):2015.
- Two weeks are considered so that the participants have ample opportunities for raising their doubts / queries related to the subject.
- The online sessions will be conducted using ZOOM software.
1ST BATCH COMPLETED…
The first batch of the course was scheduled from 27th May, 2021 to 5-JUN-21. We have received quite encouraging feedback of the participants. Also, we are receiving many requests to access recording of the sessions. Accordingly, we have configured access of the recordings.
How to access recording of the course?
Now, you can purchase access of the recording for 90 days. Your all queries/doubts after going through the video will be responded. If required, we will also arrange live session for discussion.
