The wind environment around buildings and the wind pressures on building surfaces are studied by scale-model experiments in wind tunnels and confirmed by full scale measurements.
The study is concerned with developing an adequate Performance-Based Wind Engineering (PBWE) framework for tall building design.
This paper presents the analysis of the modal correlation coefficient and the weighting factor for predicting wind load combination in tall buildings under wind loads by high-frequency force balance (HFFB) and high-frequency pressure ...
This dissertation, "Estimation of Wind-induced Dynamic Responses of Tall Buildings of Non-ideal Mode Shapes by Time Domain Analysis" by Ai, Li, Χέδρ, was obtained from The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong) and is being sold ...
MOP 67 provides guidelines to assist architects and engineers involved with wind tunnel model testing of buildings and structures.
This is especially important near the corners and edges of high-rise buildings' side walls, where the wind-induced pressure can result in extreme suction loads.
Written by seven internationally known experts, the articles in this book present the fundamentals and practical applications of contemporary wind engineering.
This book serves as a textbook for advanced courses as it introduces state-of-the-art information and the latest research results on diverse problems in the structural wind engineering field.
