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.

This work is about prediction of the pressure distribution on building surfaces due to the natural wind, with computational fluid dynamics simulations on meshes that are as coarse as possible.

Written by seven internationally known experts, the articles in this book present the fundamentals and practical applications of contemporary wind engineering.

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.

Bridging the gap between wind and structural engineering, Wind Loading of Structures is essential reading for practising civil, structural and mechanical engineers, and graduate students of wind engineering, presenting the principles of ...

Yukio Tamura, Ahsan Kareem. According to the book ¡°Guide to numerical prediction of wind loads on buildings¡± (AIJ 2005), which was written by an AIJ WG on CWE headed by Prof. T. Tamura of Tokyo Institute of Technology, computational wind ...
