Book Description

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

Descripción del libro

Las fuerzas del viento de los eventos de vientos extremos son la carga dominante en muchas partes del mundo, exacerbadas por el cambio climático y la construcción continua de estructuras y edificios altos. Esta fuente autorizada, para ingenieros estructurales en ejercicio y académicos y estudiantes graduados, vincula los principios de las cargas de viento en las estructuras con los aspectos relevantes de la meteorología, la aerodinámica de cuerpos romos, la probabilidad y la estadística, y la dinámica estructural.

Esta nueva edición cubre:

- Efectos del cambio climático en los vientos extremos, en particular los de ciclones tropicales, huracanes y tifones

- Modelización de la vulnerabilidad y el daño potencial del viento

- Desarrollos en el análisis de probabilidad de valor extremo de velocidades y direcciones de viento extremas

- Explicación de la diferencia entre 'período de retorno' e 'intervalo de recurrencia promedio', así como técnicas de 'bootstrapping' para derivar límites de confianza
