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:
1 The nature of windstorms and wind-induced damage
2 Prediction of design wind speeds and structural safety
3 Strong wind characteristics and turbulence
4 Basic bluff-body aerodynamics
5 Resonant dynamic response and effective static
load distributions
6 Internal pressures
7 Laboratory simulation of strong winds and wind loads
8 Low-rise buildings
9 Tall buildings
10 Large roofs and sports stadiums
11 Towers, chimneys and masts
12 Bridges
13 Transmission lines
14 Other structures
15 Wind-loading codes and standards
16 Application of computational fluid dynamics to wind
loading
Dr John Holmes has over forty years of experience in wind engineering and has authored over 500 journal and conference papers.
Dr Seifu Bekele has twenty-five years of experience in wind engineering and related fields. His extensive consulting practice specialises in computational techniques.
