In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Introduction to Wind Loads on Low Buildings 2. Historical Development of Wind Loads on Low Buildings 3. Codes and Standards/Full-Scale Measurements 4. Computational Evaluation of Wind Pressures. Introduction to Wind Loads on Low Buildings: Wind loads on low buildings have not received the attention they deserve when the large investment in such [...]
Regarding wind loading of low buildings the following overall considerations are appropriate: i. Atmospheric simulation requirements are generally similar to those for tall buildings. ii. There is a large variety of low building geometries. iii. Special tests are usually unjustifiable economically and hence there is more reliance on generic tests. iv. Aspects special to low buildings are due to their [...]
This article is concerned with the prediction of both the along and across-wind response of slender tower-like structures in a turbulent wind. Particular attention is paid to the efficient calculation of the along-wind response and to a model for prediction of the across-wind response to vortex shedding. Introduction to Response of Tower: Towers and tower like structures such as chimneys [...]
