Synopsis
Excerpt from Probabilistic Estimates of Design Load Factors for Wind-Sensitive Structures Using the "Peaks Over Threshold" Approach
The nominal design wind load is an extreme load with a specified probability of being exceeded during a specified time interval. For codes and standards in the United States, this interval is usually 50 years, and the specified load is based upon a 50-year nominal design wind speed. For example, for the inland Miami, Florida area, the asce Standard 7-93 [1] and 7-95 [2] specify a nominal 50-year load based on a nominal 50-year design wind speed of m s (110 mi h). It is expected, however, that a structure or element thereof should withstand wind loads substantially in excess of the 50-year Wind load without loss of integrity. The wind load beyond which loss of integrity can be expected is referred to as the ultimate wind load. The ultimate strength provided for in the design of a structure is based upon an assumed nominal ultimate wind load equal to the nominal design wind load times a wind load factor.

Probabilistic Estimates of Design Load Factors for Wind-Sensitive Structures
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the safety of structures in extreme weather conditions. It utilizes sophisticated statistical techniques to predict loads on a building by wind speed. The author approaches the subject by comparing extratropical storms to hurricanes, calculating ratios of wind-induced pressure for both. The findings call into question current load factors specified in national standards for hurricane-prone areas. The author's probabilistic approach provides engineers and architects with a framework to quantify risk and increase safety for wind-sensitive structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334358777_0
