Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The field of wind science and engineering (WSE) in relation to civil engineering (CE) applications is still considered relatively young and thus has been taught only for about 50 years in some academic institutions. ...
Wind-Induced Dynamic Behavior of Single-Skin Curtain-Wall System: A Comparative Numerical Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Glass curtain walls, while broadly used as a building facade, are vulnerable to extreme winds. Curtain-wall failures in major wind events lead to substantial economic losses, and wind-induced vibration is often a major ...
