Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Definitive Up-to-Date Reference Wind forces from various types of extreme wind events continue to generate ever-increasing damage to buildings and other structures. Wind Loading of Structures, Third Edition fills an important gap as an information source for practicing and academic engineers alike, explaining the principles of wind loads on structures, including the relevant aspects of meteorology, bluff-body aerodynamics, probability and statistics, and structural dynamics. Written in Line with International Standards Among the unique features of the book are its broad view of the major international codes and standards, and information on the extreme wind climates of a large number of countries of the world. It is directed towards practicing (particularly structural) engineers, and academics and graduate students. The main changes from the earlier editions are: Discussion of potential global warming effects on extreme events More discussion of tornados and tornado-generated damage A rational approach to gust durations for structural design Expanded considerations of wind-induced fatigue damage Consideration of aeolian vibrations of suspended transmission lines Expansion of the sections on the cross-wind response of tall slender structures Simplified approaches to wind loads on "porous" industrial, mining, and oil/gas structures A more general discussion of formats in wind codes and standards Not dedicated to a specific code or standard, Wind Loading of Structures, Third Edition highlights the general format and procedures related to all major codes and standards, addresses structures of various types, and presents you with topics not typically covered in traditional texts such as internal pressures, fatigue damage by wind forces, and equivalent static wind load distributions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers the safety of structures subjected to dynamic response to wind loads. Resonant dynamic response results in wind load effects which vary with wind speed to a higher power than two. It is shown that provided a nominal design wind speed of high return period is adopted, the safety index is insensitive to the exponent of wind load variation.

Download or read book Wind Tunnel Testing of High-Rise Buildings written by Peter Irwin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, wind tunnel testing has become a commonly used tool in the design of tall buildings. It was pioneered, in large part, during the design of the World Trade Center Towers in New York. Since those early days of wind engineering, wind tunnel testing techniques have developed in sophistication, but these techniques are not widely understood by the designers using the results. As a direct result, the CTBUH Wind Engineering Working Group was formed to develop a concise guide for the non-specialist. The primary goal of this guide is to provide an overview of the wind tunnel testing process for design professionals. This knowledge allows readers to ask the correct questions of their wind engineering consultants throughout the design process. This is not an in-depth guide to the technical intricacies of wind tunnel testing, it focusses instead on the information the design community needs, including: a unique methodology for the presentation of wind tunnel results to allow straightforward comparison of results from different wind tunnel laboratories. advice on when a tall building is likely to be sufficiently sensitive to wind effects to benefit from a wind tunnel test background for assessing whether design codes and standards are applicable details of the types of tests that are commonly conducted descriptions of the fundamentals of wind climate and the interaction of wind and tall buildings This unique book is an essential guide for all designers of tall buildings, and anyone else interested in the process of wind tunnel testing for tall buildings.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finite element model updating has emerged in the 1990s as a subject of immense importance to the design, construction and maintenance of mechanical systems and civil engineering structures. This book, the first on the subject, sets out to explain the principles of model updating, not only as a research text, but also as a guide for the practising engineer who wants to get acquainted with, or use, updating techniques. It covers all aspects of model preparation and data acquisition that are necessary for updating. The various methods for parameter selection, error localisation, sensitivity and parameter estimation are described in detail and illustrated with examples. The examples can be easily replicated and expanded in order to reinforce understanding. The book is aimed at researchers, postgraduate students and practising engineers.

Book excerpt: Wind-induced natural disasters have been frequently reported as some of the most fatal and costly catastrophes. Of particular intensity was the disastrous effect on low-rise residential properties that suffered in several cases from a complete damage. The intense research efforts of the wind engineering community contributed significantly towards the development of more complex yet safer wind standards and building codes of practice. Numerous studies have been carried out focusing on the estimation of wind-induced envelope pressures using in most cases wind tunnel experimental techniques and less often field studies. A key component that has not yet been investigated adequately is the flow of wind-induced forces through the structural system and their attenuation due to dynamic and other structural aspects of light frame construction. The field monitoring of a low-rise wood building provided valuable information related to its wind-induced structural response. The building was equipped with a state-of-the-art data acquisition system to monitor weather, pressure and force data. In addition, detailed wind tunnel tests on a scaled model and finite element analysis were used to study the wind effects in a simulated environment. Despite the vast amount of field data that were acquired, only a limited number was qualified as stationary and considered for further interpretation. The analysis revealed a non-uniform upstream exposure which was incorporated in the wind tunnel experiments and improved the agreement between the two experimental approaches. Of particular importance were the findings related to wind-induced uplift force distribution, especially those related to the attenuation of the wind load. For this analysis, data from pressure taps and foundation load cells were considered and incorporated in the finite element analysis. A significant reduction was identified as the wind-induced load is transferred through structural and non-structural elements to the foundation level. This attenuation was evident in the field data but was not predicted by finite element analysis, indicating that wind design practices based on static analysis of structural systems will tend to conservatively estimate actual building performances. Another interesting finding was that the wind load is transferred predominantly to the two side walls whereas the end walls have a significantly smaller contribution. Last but not least, the comparisons of the findings to current wind provisions, such as ASCE 7 and NBCC, revealed that in certain cases the recommended by the standards values could underestimate the total uplift wind force.
