Ranked #42 in Structural
Wind forces are responsible for in the region of USD10 billion per annum in insured damage. This cost can be mitigated, if not totally eliminated, by the application of wind engineering principless to ensure maximum safety at the lowest cost. This book will assist the practising engineer in understanding the principles of wind engineering, and provide guidance on the successful design of structures to counteract wind loading problems. The principles of meterology, statistics and probability, aerodynamics and structural dynamics are covered in the first half of the book. The second half... more
