Abstract: Performance-based wind design (PBWD) allowing inelastic behavior under extreme wind load has only been recently considered for design of high-rise buildings. Unlike performance-based seismic design, there are few guidelines ...

Abstract: Wind load is one of the main concerns for engineers in the design of tall buildings. In contrast to seismic demand, the wind load spectrum has more energy at lower frequencies, which is why taller buildings that have less ...

Abstract: Due to the increasing tendency to construct taller and more slender buildings, the need to address aerodynamic and induced dynamic forces (inertial forces) under both service and strength-level wind loads has become more ...
