Abstract: For structures sensitive to wind directionality, methods for the estimation of wind effects require the use of time series of directional wind speeds that cover time periods exceeding the length of the mean recurrence ...

Abstract: Advances in wind pressure measurement and computer technology have made time-domain analyses of wind effects on high-rise structures possible in recent years. Time-domain solutions use aerodynamic and wind climatological ...

Abstract: Efforts are being made to achieve more efficient operation of buildings, with the goal of reducing the construction industry’s contribution to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. That contribution also includes ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for estimating parametric probabilistic models of hurricane wind speeds from existing information on state-of-the-art estimates of wind speeds with various mean recurrence intervals (MRIs). Such ...

Abstract: According to recent results of planetary boundary layer research relevant to the design of tall buildings subjected to large-scale synoptic storm winds, for elevations of up to at least 1 km, the longitudinal mean ...
