Provides a comprehensive, practical examination of the wind loading of structures. Fundamentals of wind loading are described in detail, with the author discussing the nature of wind, prediction of wind speed and force, dynamic response of buildings, and successful design of buildings to counteract wind loading problems. The application of wind loading in a variety of different types of structures, including low-rise and tall buildings, towers and masts, stadiums and bridges is discussed.

This book reviews the development of research into the explosive loading of structures, mainly since the beginning of the twentieth century. Major contributions in the fields of measurement, analysis and prediction are discussed. Dynamic loading from conventional high explosives is examined, as well as the effects of liquid propellant, dust, gas, vapour, and fuel/air explosions. Subjects include blast in tunnels, underground and underwater explosions, pressure measurement and blast stimulation. Explosive effects on civil buildings, civil bridges, aircraft and ships are summarized, including th

During the late 1980s, the field of non-linear analysis of structures was rapidly evolving and broadening. In fact, while the number of applications of non-linear analyses for important and unconventional structures was increasing fast, no guidance was available to the designer for the selection of the models more suited to each specific case. On the other hand, the existence and the accessibility of a number of sophisticated finite element codes for the non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete structures, was a cause more for concern than for relief, because of their lack of validation over

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 variety of structures. This book will assist the practising engineer in understanding the principles of wind engineering, and provide guidance on the successful design of structures for wind loading by gales, hurricanes, typhoons, thunderstorm downdrafts and tornados. The principles of meteorology, statistics and probability, aerodynamics and structural dynamics are covered in the first half of the book. The second half d
