Holmes John D. Wind Loading of Structures

Spon Press, 2003. — 366 p. — ISBN: 0-419-24610-XThis book has been written with the practising structural engineer in mind, based on many years of experience working with clients in this profession. I hope it may also find use in advanced University courses.The nature of windstorms and wind-induced damage
Prediction of design wind speeds and structural safety
The atmospheric boundary layer and wind turbulence
Basic bluff-body aerodynamics
Dynamic response and effective static load distributions
Internal pressures
The role of wind tunnels

Tall buildings
Large roofs and sports stadiums
Towers, chimneys and masts
Bridges
Transmission lines
Other structures
Wind loading codes and standards
Appendix A. Terminology
