Wind Engineering Course
Description
The main objective of the course is to give participants a knowledge of wind loading beyond just application of a design code or standard such as ASCE-7.
Some emphasis is given to the particular characteristics of hurricanes, although other storm types such as: tornadoes, downbursts, and extra-tropical gales, will also be covered. The quasi-static fluctuating and the resonant dynamic effects of wind loads are studied, and the method of effective static load distributions introduced. Lectures are also be given on internal pressures and wind-tunnel methods.
The particular characteristics of wind loading and response of a variety of structural types are covered: low-rise buildings, tall buildings, towers and masts, long-span bridges, free-standing walls and roofs, antennas etc.
This class was designed to be used with the book Wind Loading on
Structures by J.D. Holmes, Spon Press.
