The brandnew editionwith complete, uptodate coverage of new methods and standards for the construction of windresistant structures Long recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of windresistant structures, Wind Effects on Structures equips designers and engineers with crucial knowledge concerning the atmosphere, the forces placed on a structure by the wind environment, and the behavior of structures under the action of these forces. Revised, updated, and augmented with material on new building codes, engineering practices, and technology, this latest edition is the most comprehensive and uptotheminute reference available on this important subject. New features include: Special material on the design of lowrise buildings, including building code provisions for wind loads on these structures Technical information on hurricane micrometeorology, computational fluid dynamics, empirical aerolastic models, and many other areas Easytouse software package for the automatic calculation of wind loads in accordance with ASCE Standard 795, and much more The damage done by recent hurricanes such as Andrew and Iniki has inspired a number of significant developments in the wind engineering field, from increased use of technology to predict structural loading to the creation of more stringent building codes. Long recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of windresistant structures, Wind Effects on Structures has now been fully revised to address these important changesproviding engineers with completely uptodate methods and standards for the construction of windresistant structures. Divided into sections on the atmosphere, wind loads, and their effects on structures, the text now incorporates the latest information on the design of lowrise buildings, revised building code standards, and suspendedspan structures, plus new material on an extensive range of technical subjectsincluding acrosswind and torsional effects on tall structures, damping of flexible buildings, and progress in wind tunnel modeling. Combining fundamental concepts with realworld applications, this new edition features an easytouse software package that enables fast and accurate calculation of wind loads in line with ASCE Standard 795 provisions. Thoroughly updated, revised, and amended, Wind Effects on Structures provides the invaluable guidance designers and engineers need to assure the adequate structural safety and serviceability of virtually any windsensitive project.
