WIND LOAD DESIGN HANDBOOK – VOLUME 3: Covering structural wind effects and dynamic wind effects, including load distribution, steel and reinforced-concrete structures, drift, serviceability, torsion - Softcover
Synopsis
Design for Wind. Understand the Response. Control the Vibration.
Wind does more than push against a building.
It distributes forces through structural systems, produces drift and torsion, excites flexible structures, generates vortex shedding, interacts with structural motion, and can create vibration, fatigue, and aerodynamic instability. For modern tall, slender, lightweight, irregular, and long-span structures, understanding these effects is essential to achieving reliable structural performance.
Wind Load Design Handbook – Volume 3 provides a comprehensive practical reference for understanding how structures respond to wind—from global load distribution and structural systems to advanced dynamic and aeroelastic behavior.
The book covers:
- Wind load distribution through complete structural systems
- Diaphragms, collectors, chords, bracing, walls, cores, and load paths
- Wind loads on steel structures and reinforced-concrete structures
- Building drift and wind serviceability
- Wind-induced torsion and asymmetric buildings
- Dynamic response, natural frequency, damping, and resonance
- Along-wind response analysis
- Across-wind response and vortex shedding
- Lock-in and vortex-induced vibration
- Aeroelastic effects and wind-induced instabilities
- Galloping, flutter, divergence, and torsional instability
- Wind-induced fatigue and serviceability
- Tuned mass and tuned liquid dampers
- Viscous, viscoelastic, friction, active, and semi-active damping
- Aerodynamic modifications and structural vibration mitigation
- Wind-tunnel testing, CFD, aeroelastic analysis, and fluid-structure interaction
- Practical design workflows, worked examples, common mistakes, and quality-control checks
It emphasizes a practical question that every wind-sensitive structural design must answer:
How does the structure actually carry, respond to, and control the forces generated by wind?
Written for structural engineers, civil engineers, wind engineers, façade specialists, architects, contractors, students, researchers, reviewers, and engineering consultants, this volume connects fundamental principles with practical structural design and engineering judgment.
Whether the project involves a conventional building, high-rise tower, industrial structure, steel frame, reinforced-concrete core, bridge, chimney, mast, cable system, lightweight roof, or other flexible structure, this book provides a systematic framework for evaluating wind effects and developing reliable, serviceable, and dynamically robust solutions.
Wind-resistant design is not simply about resisting force. It is about understanding movement, controlling response, maintaining stability, and ensuring performance throughout the life of the structure.
The book's strongest positioning is therefore as an advanced practical reference on structural-system response and dynamic wind engineering, rather than as another basic wind-pressure calculation manual. Its progression from load distribution through drift, torsion, dynamic response, vortex shedding, aeroelasticity, and vibration control gives Volume 3 a clear technical identity within the handbook series.
