Bridging the gap between wind and structural engineering, Wind Loading of Structures
demonstrates the application of wind engineering principles to ensure maximum safety in a …

Wind-induced loads and motions of tall buildings usually govern the design of the lateral
load resisting systems. The outer shape of the building is one of the many parameters that …

A new turbulent inflow generator technique that can be used as inflow boundary condition
for LES of lower atmospheric boundary flow (ABL) is proposed based on synthesizing …

Urban optical wireless communication (UOWC) systems are considered a last-mile
technology. UOWC systems use the atmosphere as a propagation medium. To provide a …

Nine models with different rectangular cross-sections were tested in a wind tunnel to study
the characteristics of wind forces on tall buildings. The data was briefly reported (Local wind …

Aerodynamic response of a standard tall building (commonly known as the CAARC model)
is investigated using LES. The LES employs the Consistent Discrete Random Flow …

Under the action of wind, tall buildings oscillate simultaneously in the alongwind,
acrosswind, and torsional directions. While the alongwind loads have been successfully …

Urban optical wireless communication systems are considered a" last mile" technology. An
optical wireless communication system uses the atmosphere as a propagation medium. In …

Wind loads on structures under the buffeting action of wind gusts have traditionally been
treated by the “gust loading factor”(GLF) method in most major codes and standards around …

Most international codes and standards provide guidelines and procedures for assessing
the along-wind effects on tall structures. Despite their common use of the “gust loading …
