Abstract:
As urban areas continue to expand and the demand for space intensifies, tall buildings have emerged as a crucial solution for optimizing land use in cities. The design of skyscrapers, however, necessitates careful consideration of various structural loads, with wind-induced lateral forces and seismic forces being among the most critical. A key challenge lies in determining the optimal building height at which the effects of wind and seismic forces are nearly equivalent, allowing for an economical and resilient design. This study seeks to identify this "optimal height," enabling engineers to design structures that effectively resist both wind and seismic forces while minimizing material usage and associated costs. In this research, buildings with heights ranging from 26 meters to 104 meters are analyzed to evaluate the relative impact of wind and earthquake forces. Two distinct soil conditions—loose and hard soil—are considered, with the analysis conducted in Earthquake Zone V under extreme wind conditions of 55 m/s. Structural parameters such as base shear, moments, shear forces, and building displacement are assessed for each scenario to identify the height at which wind and earthquake forces exert nearly equivalent effects on the structure. The findings indicate that for buildings on loose soil in Earthquake Zone V under a wind speed of 55 m/s, the optimal height is 64 meters. Conversely, for buildings on hard soil under the same conditions, wind forces dominate across all building heights analyzed.
