Wind and Wind Loadings

1970
Although forces induced by winds account for only about 15% of the total forces acting on most offshore structures during periods of intense wind, water wave and current excitation, it is useful to review many of the salient features of wind loadings for two reasons.

Wind loads on girder bridges

Challenge Journal of Structural Mechanics, 2022
Bridges are facilities that are in exploitation outdoor. Often the wind is the leading horizontal force in the transverse direction. Therefore the bridges have received the due attention in the standards for wind loading. Unfortunately, in all available standards for wind load on the bridges, one, summarized value of the aerodynamic coefficient is ...

Wind loading and wind barriers

2007
One of the sections of the highway connecting the cities Zagreb and Split is 25 kilometers long. This is the section running between the Tunnel Sveti Rok to the Maslenica Interchange. It passes through rough relief where the Velebit Mountain and the Adriatic coast meet. This is actually the main reason for the strong wind genesis.

Wind loads on wind permeable facades

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1994
Abstract This paper presents results of a fundamental, experimental study on wind loading of porous facade systems. The important parameters — relative building dimensions, porosity, and gap width — have been varied systematically in a model scale study. Both time averaged and fluctuating pressures have been measured.

Wind Loads

2013
This helpful guide focuses on the wind load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10 , that affect the planning, design, and construction of buildings for residential and commercial purposes. The 2010 revision of the Standard significantly reorganized the wind load provisions, expanding them from ...

Wind loads on parapets

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2002
Abstract A wind-tunnel study has been carried out to assess wind loads on parapets of two buildings. Local pressure coefficients were measured on models with a length to height ratio ( L / H ) of 1:1 and 2:1. Most of the results were obtained for full-scale equivalent parapet heights of 1 and 2 m and for wind directions of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°

The relationship of reliability to wind loading

Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1983
Abstract The paper presents the case for the wider application of reliability principles in the treatment of wind loading. Illustrations are given of its usefulness in the treatment of a variety of uncertainties concluding those associated with the estimation of internal pressures, of damping and also the influence of wind direction.
