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 typhoonsModelling of potential wind vulnerability and damageDevelopments in extreme value probability analysis of extreme wind speeds and directionsExplanation of the difference between ‘return period’ and ‘average recurrence interval’, as well as ‘bootstrapping’ techniques for deriving confidence limitsWind over water, and profiles and turbulence in non-synoptic windsAn expanded chapter on internal pressures produced by wind for various opening and permeability scenariosAerodynamic shaping of high- and low-rise buildingsRecent developments in five major wind codes and standardsA new chapter on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), as applied to wind engineeringA greatly expanded appendix providing the basic information on extreme wind climates for over 140 countries and territoriesAdditional examples for many chapters in this book
