Abstract: An accurate prediction of design wind speed is critical to the estimation of wind loads on any earth-bound civil engineering structure. Concerns have been raised within the Indian design community concerning the precision ...

Abstract: Modern structural design codes assume a statistically stationary climate. However, it is now known that the climate is changing at a rate that calls into question the stationarity assumption. This study was undertaken to ...

Abstract: Most building codes have assumed stationary historical climatic data that can be statistically extrapolated to the future. However, nonstationarity has been shown in projections of future climatic data relevant to the ...
