Abstract:   This paper represents a numerical evaluation of wind load analysis of buildings with two different patterns of loading. While building a structure, it is very important to take into consideration as well as to apply wind load with a view to ensuring that the structure can withstand high winds, especially if the building is located in an area known for inclement weather. Effect of wind loading in buildings is explained by the exploration as point load and line load. Generally, wind load acts as pressure load where there are mass sources. It treats generally as point load in practical calculations. But here we consider it as line load and as point load to understand the effect of the different pattern of loading. The analyses outcome shows interesting variation in case of lateral displacements and moments in members. It is noted that the displacement is a bit higher for point load while it is different in the case of moment and shears in members. Eight different levels have been considered in this study and comparisons between the effect of line load and point load is reported. The provisions of Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) 2006 have been adopted in this research. The overall analysis has been carried out using SAP2000 software.

Keywords:  Wind Load, Line Load, Point Load, Displacement, Moment.
