Abstract: This paper presents the analytical models most in use at present for the description of the structure of turbulence in the surface atmospheric boundary layer. The study gives maximum prominence to the degree of uncertainty ...

Abstract: The problem of dynamic alongwind response of structues to forces induced by atmospheric turbulence is treated in this paper. Starting from the classical formulation, the study suggests at first two structural standard ...

Abstract: The equivalent wind spectrum technique is a mathematical model according to which wind is schematized as a stochastic stationary Gaussian process made up of a mean‐speed profile on which an equivalent turbulent fluctuation, ...

Abstract: Although the peak wind velocity, the equivalent pressure on rigid bodies, and the dynamic alongwind response of flexible structures are component parts of the gust buffeting problem, different procedures have been developed ...

Abstract: The present study is the logical successor to a preceding paper, in which a procedure was developed for treating the peak wind velocity and the equivalent pressure on rigid bodies in a unified way. Based upon this formulation ...

Abstract: This paper formulates a theoretically consistent definition of the wind response spectrum based upon the equivalent wind spectrum technique, a calculation procedure by means of which wind is schematized as a stochastic ...

Abstract: A mathematical model to predict 3‐D wind loading on buildings with rectangular geometry and wind acting normally to a face is formulated. This methodology allows the evaluation of force distribution in the frequency domain ...

Abstract: The modeling and simulation of the wind field along structures is a fundamental step in the analysis of their wind-excited response. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) provides efficient tools to formulate a model ...

Abstract: The loading and response of structures due to gust buffeting is a dominant topic of wind engineering. One of its crucial aspects is the shape of vibration modes. Although numeric solutions are available for any mode, ...
