WIND Wind is a moving mass of air . Buildings and other structures represent obstacles that deflect or impede the wind , covering the kinetic energy of the moving air mass into the potential energy of pressure. Wind loads result from the forces exerted by the kinetic energy of the moving mass of air , which can produce a combination of direct pressure , negative pressure or suction , and drag forces on buildings and other obstactles in its path. Wind forces are typically assumed to be applied normal , or perpendicular , to the affected surfaces of the building. Wind pressure increases as a function of wind velocity. The average mean wind velocity for any particular area , measured over a long period of time , generally increases with height . The rate of increase of the mean velocity is also a function of the ground roughness and the interference offered by surrounding objects that include other buildings , vegetation , and land forms.

Variation of Wind Velocity with Height Variation of Wind Velocity with Height-Near the earth’s surface, the motion is opposed, and the wind speed reduced , by the surface friction. At the surface , the wind speed reduces to zero and then begins to increase with height , and at some height, known as the gradient height, the motion may be considered to be free of the earth’s frictional influence and will attain its ‘gradient velocity’. Gradient Height 300 m for flat ground& 550 m for very rough terrain
Wind Effects on Structures Wind effects on structures can be classified as ‘Static’ and ‘Dynamic’. Static-Static wind effect primarily causes elastic bending and twisting of structure. Dynamic for tall, long span and slender structures a ‘dynamic analysis’ of the structure is essential . Wind gusts cause fluctuating forces on the structure which induce large dynamic motions , including oscillations.
