Description
Wind Issues in the Design of Buildings explains the ways that structural designers accommodate the impact of extreme wind events on the built environment. By studying the flow and pressure fields around buildings, architects and engineers can identify and select the best strategies for ensuring that a building will resist the loads due to high winds, maintaining pleasant conditions in outdoor spaces, assessing natural ventilation potential, and seeing...

Description
"The structural challenges in building anything that reaches 800 metres into the sky are substantial, particularly for tall buildings. The aim of this book is to provide the basic architectural and structural knowledge which must specifically be taken into account in the design of tall buildings. In presenting examples of steel, reinforced concrete, and composite structural systems for such buildings, it is argued that wind load has a very important...
