  • Abstract:
  • This Study focuses on comparing various building shapes—Square, C-shaped, H-shaped, L-shaped, and Rectangular—by evaluating their structural performance under extreme conditions, such as high wind and earthquake forces. The increasing global demand for structures that can endure severe atmospheric and seismic challenges, driven by urbanization, forms the basis of this investigation. The study aims to analyze how different building geometries respond to dynamic forces like wind and earthquakes. The main aim of this research is to assess the impact of different architectural shapes on the structural behavior of buildings when exposed to extreme loads. This is achieved through computer simulations combined with a thorough analysis of the shapes. Critical performance indicators such as stress distribution, displacement, and structural stability under wind and earthquake forces are closely examined to evaluate the buildings’ overall performance in these conditions. The research provides detailed insights into the deformation behavior of buildings under extreme loading conditions, demonstrating that specific shapes offer superior performance under certain circumstances. For example, rectangular and square buildings exhibit better lateral stability under wind forces, while H-shaped and C-shaped buildings show enhanced torsional stability during earthquakes. Additionally, the study evaluates the efficiency of different geometric forms in load transmission and their vulnerability to damage caused by external forces. The findings highlight the importance of considering shape during the design phase of buildings, revealing that certain shapes are better suited to resist specific external forces. This information serves as a practical guide for architects and civil engineers to optimize building designs for greater safety and efficiency, particularly in regions prone to severe seismic and wind conditions.
