Abstract
THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE HISTORY OF RESEARCH INTO WIND EFFECTS ON BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES AND CONSIDERS HOW THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN APPLIED.THE TECHNIQUES FOR AD HOC TESTS ARE WELL ESTABLISHED FOR TIME-AVERAGED LOADS ALTHOUGH ADEQUATE REPRESENTATION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC WIND IS DIFFICULT.DYNAMIC LOADS AND RESPONSE REQUIRE MORE COMPLEX TECHNIQUES.THE PAPER COMPARES THE COST OF VARIOUS METHODS FOR PREDICTING WIND LOADS AND THE POSSIBLE ERRORS IN THE PREDICTIONS.THE METHODS DISCUSSED INCLUDE THE USE OF CODES OF PRACTICE, WIND-TUNNEL TESTS ON MODELS AND MEASUREMENTS ON EXISTING STRUCTURES.(A)
