Research in wind engineering at the Building Research Establishment and elsewhere in the world, together with the BRE survey of wind damage over the past two decades has led to a clearer understanding of the interactions of wind and buildings. This practical book brings to the disposal of the designer the optimum design methods and data for the design of buildings and allied structures to resist wind loads. It also discusses the structural engineering. The contents discussed are: Introduction to wind engineering; Peformance of existing buildings; Statement of the problem; Wind climate of the United Kingdom; Wind climates overseas; The atmospheric boundary layer; Introduction to building aerodynamics; Design wind speed data; Structural classification; Appendices; and References.
