The first covers atmospheric flows, extreme wind speeds, and bluff body aerodynamics. The second examines the design of buildings, and includes chapters on aerodynamic loads; dynamic and effective wind-induced loads; wind effects with specified MRIs; low-rise buildings; tall buildings; and more. The third part is devoted to aeroelastic effects, and covers both fundamentals and applications. The last part considers other structures and special topics such as trussed frameworks; offshore structures; and tornado effects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering readers the knowledge and practical tools needed to develop structural designs for wind loadings, this book: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePoints out significant limitations in the design of buildings based on such techniques as the high-frequency force balance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses powerful algorithms, tools, and software needed for the effective design for wind, and provides numerous examples of application \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses techniques applicable to structures other than buildings, including stacks and suspended-span bridges \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures several appendices on Elements of Probability and Statistics; Peaks-over-Threshold Poisson-Process Procedure for Estimating Peaks; estimates of the WTC Towers' Response to Wind and their shortcomings; and more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWind Effects on Structures: Modern Structural Design for Wind, 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent text for structural engineers, wind engineers, and structural engineering students and faculty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emil Simiu, Donghun Yeo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119375886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119375883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Emil Simiu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067116482815,"sku":"9781119375883","price":137.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd4172d7-e54e-4d11-b448-d9395e72da7f.jpg?v=1685411291","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wind-effects-on-structures-emil-simiu-9781119375883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
