This paper studies seismic performance of buildings under wind load. Analysis was done for the buildings with 5, 14, 30 stories and 2-5 spans by using frame model to investigate the performance of not only whole building, but also each story and member. This paper also examines the adaptability of a degree of freedom system model.
As a result, it was found that the wind loads had not significant effect on seismic performance for 5 and 14 storied buildings during the earthquakes. It was also found that a degree of freedom system model for these analyses was applicable to the buildings except for high rise buildings with large aspect ratio such as 30 storied building with 2 spans.
