WIND EFFECTS ON BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES - VOLUME TWO

BECAUSE OF THE GROWING NUMBER OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGS IN ALL THE MAJOR CITIES OF THE WORLD, THE SUBJECT OF WIND EFFECTS ON BUILDINGS IS OF INCREASING IMPORTANCE. THIS BOOK CONTAINS 37 PAPERS BASED ON THE RESEARCH AND FINDINGS OF AUTHORS FROM 15 COUNTRIES. THE TOPICS COVERED ARE DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAIN AREAS: (1) PREDICTION AND NATURE OF WIND CONDITIONS NEAR THE GROUND HAVING AN INFLUENCE ON BUILDINGS, (2) DETERMINATION OF AERODYNAMIC FORCES DUE TO WIND, (3) THE PERFORMANCE AND RESPONSE OF PARTICULAR STRUCTURES INCLUDING TOWERS AND BRIDGES, AND (4) CODE CRITERIA FOR DESIGN AGAINST WIND. VOLUME TWO ALSO CONTAINS DISCUSSIONS ON MANY OF THE PAPERS BY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD. /CGRA/
