This project is carried out to design flexible high rise building to cater to human comfort and structural stability. The wind force can result in the vibration of the building in which can induce the discomfortness to the occupants if the motion experience exceeds the perception level. This project is carried out to analyze and design high structure in Malaysia that meets the human comfort criteria. This project will require knowledge of wind force and human perception threshold levels. Acceleration of the wind is taken as the parameter to evaluate the human perception level. The design and analysis are based on ASCE 7-05.Two models of high structures in Malaysia have been chosen and analysis has been carried out on the subjects.
