What is Wind Loading of Structures about?

Truly international in its scope, this study summarises the wind climate for some 50 countries, explains the principles of good design and provides clear guidance on the design of structures that are able to counteract wind loading problems. Wind forces from extreme wind events are the dominant loading for many parts of the world, exacerbated by climate change and the continued construction of tall buildings and structures. This authoritative source, for practising and academic structural engineers and graduate students, ties the principles of wind loads on structures to the relevant aspects of meteorology, bluff-body aerodynamics, probability and statistics, and structural dynamics.This new edition covers: Climate change effects on extreme winds - particularly those from tropical cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons Modelling of potential wind vulnerability and damage Developments in extreme value probability analysis of extreme wind speeds and directions Explanation of the difference between `return period' and `average recurrence interval', as well as `bootstrapping' techniques for deriving confidence limits Wind over water, and profiles and turbulence in non-synoptic winds An expa
