Written by a recognized structural design expert, the book explains the general concepts and principles involved in the design of buildings and structures for wind forces. Structural systems used to resist wind forces are outlined and explained, in the context of both low-rise and high-rise buildings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Design for Wind Forces\u003c\/i\u003e provides easy-to-follow summaries of complex ASCE 7-16 wind load provisions and shows how to apply the corresponding design procedures using practical examples. A detailed discussion of typical structural damage caused by extreme wind events such as hurricanes and tornadoes is presented along with design recommendations. Current wind engineering activities and recent research developments are discussed, and a general overview of wind tunnel procedures and an introduction to the concept of database-assisted design (DAD) is provided. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuilding Design for Wind Forces\u003c\/i\u003e covers:\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind forces and wind effects on buildings and structures\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind load provisions of the ASCE 7-16 standard\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDamage to structures caused by extreme wind events\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind engineering activities and research trends\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eStructural systems for lateral loads\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTall buildings\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind design procedures and wind load parameters\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind loads on the Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS)\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind loads on Components and Cladding (C\u0026amp;C)\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind loads on building appurtenances and other structures\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWind tunnels and the wind tunnel procedure\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDatabase-assisted design (DAD)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEAN: 9781259860805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAge Group:  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 675.9 gr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McGraw Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":43845945360622,"sku":"9781259860805","price":207.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/products\/Building-Design-for-Wind-Forces-A-Guide-to-ASCE-7-16-Standards-Book-Land-AU-481.jpg?v=1679394500","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/9781259860805","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
