Abstract: The classic spectral representation method (SRM)-based nonstationary process simulation algorithm is used extensively in the engineering community. However, it is less efficient owing to the unavailability of fast Fourier ...

Abstract: The spectral matrix decomposition is a significant task for a wind velocity field simulation. However, the decomposition requires significant computational time and memory for large-scale structures with a large number of ...

Abstract: The prediction of the extreme value of the wind pressure receives significant attention from the wind engineering community. However, the correlation among extreme wind pressures associated with different locations on the ...

Abstract: Based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), an efficient and accurate algorithm was developed for improving the computational efficiency of structural responses under nonstationary stochastic excitations. In this method, ...

Abstract: A refined full-order method is presented for estimating the extreme wind load effects of rigid structures with given mean recurrence intervals (MRIs) by combining the distributions of annual maximum wind speed and extreme ...

Abstract: The light-frame low-rise buildings widely used for residential and industrial purposes are very vulnerable to high winds. Postdisaster surveys indicated that envelope components such as windows, doors, and roof sheathings ...

Abstract: Traffic signal structures are very susceptible to wind-induced vibration because of their slenderness and low damping. In the wind, the vertical vibration is usually dominant, which affects driving safety and structural ...

Abstract: Architectural facades including balconies, mullions, shading boards, and ribs are widely used outside of tall buildings for the purpose of aesthetics and function. And these facades will affect the wind loads of tall ...
