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 expanded chapter
on internal pressures produced by wind for various opening and
permeability scenarios Aerodynamic shaping of high- and low-rise
buildings Recent developments in five major wind codes and
standards A new chapter on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), as
applied to wind engineering A greatly expanded appendix providing
the basic information on extreme wind climates for over 140
countries and territories Additional examples for many chapters in
this book
