Wind Effects on Buildings and Design of Wind-Sensitive Structures

Written by seven internationally known experts, the articles in this book present the fundamentals and practical applications of contemporary wind engineering. It addresses complex problems in wind-building interaction from the perspective of a structural designer, examining both experimental and computational approaches and their relative merits. The book offers state-of-the-art material in a rapidly progressing field that is not available in other limited resources. Junior architects and engineers will gain insights into wind engineering, an area not traditionally covered in undergraduate university programs. Junior structural designers will be informed about advancements in experimental and computational wind engineering design for complex structures.
