Abstract: Its today’s trend that we are expanding vertically instead of horizontally and constructing tall structures, either due unavailability of land or due man’s desire to achieve something which unachievable and challenge himself. However whatever be the case as when we increase the height of the structure wind load becomes one of the most predominating factor in the design of any high rise structure, hence it is very important that a structural engineer should understand how the structure will behave as the height increases.In this paper effect of wind on tall structure is studied and analyzed, two geometry, square and rectangular with same plan area were selected. Software models for these two geometries were made in STAAD with three different storeyheightsi.e 15 storey, 25 storey and 30 storey and models were analyzed for both along and across wind condition for various parametric values.
