Excerpt from Wind Pressures on Structures: Part I, General Discussion of Wind Pressure Data, Part II, Distribution of Pressure Over a Model of a Tall Building

In considering the problem in its broad and general aspects, it resolves itself into two distinct questions. First, what are the maxi mum loads produced by the wind, and how often do they occur? This is the problem of the meteorologist and the aerodynamical physicist. Second, what are the stresses in the various members of the structure resulting from these 10 ads? This is a problem for the structural engineer, and no further mention will be made in this paper of this aspect of the problem except to call attention to the fact that various methods are -in use which give very different results for any particular member of the structure. (fleming's book.) We believe this division of the problem to be: a Vital one, for We see no hepe of advance unless the wind loads are investigated rather than the Wind stresses.
