Provides structural engineers with the knowledge and practical
tools needed to perform structural designs for wind that
incorporate major technological, conceptual, analytical and
computational advances achieved in the last two decades. With clear
explanations and documentation of the concepts, methods,
algorithms, and software available for accounting for wind loads in
structural design, it also describes the wind engineer's
contributions in sufficient detail that they can be effectively
scrutinized by the structural engineer in charge of the design.
Wind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th
Edition is organized in four sections. The first covers atmospheric
flows, extreme wind speeds, and bluff body aerodynamics. The second
examines the design of buildings, and includes chapters on
aerodynamic loads; dynamic and effective wind-induced loads; wind
effects with specified MRIs; low-rise buildings; tall buildings;
and more. The third part is devoted to aeroelastic effects, and
covers both fundamentals and applications. The last part considers
other structures and special topics such as trussed frameworks;
offshore structures; and tornado effects. Offering readers the
knowledge and practical tools needed to develop structural designs
for wind loadings, this book: Points out significant limitations in
the design of buildings based on such techniques as the
high-frequency force balance Discusses powerful algorithms, tools,
and software needed for the effective design for wind, and provides
numerous examples of application Discusses techniques applicable to
structures other than buildings, including stacks and
suspended-span bridges Features several appendices on Elements of
Probability and Statistics; Peaks-over-Threshold Poisson-Process
Procedure for Estimating Peaks; estimates of the WTC Towers'
Response to Wind and their shortcomings; and more Wind Effects on
Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4th Edition is an
excellent text for structural engineers, wind engineers, and
structural engineering students and faculty.
