Download or read book Wind Loading of Structures written by John D. Holmes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 describes, qualitatively and quantitatively, the nature of wind loads on all types of structures, including low-rise and tall buildings, large stadium roofs, towers and chimneys, bridges, transmission lines, free-standing walls and roofs, and antennae. Special features include coverage of extreme winds in tropical and sub-tropical climates, wind-tunnel testing techniques, a summary of the wind climates of over sixty countries, and detailed coverage of internal as well as external wind pressures on buildings. A comparison is made of the provisions for wind loads in six major national and international codes and standards. Examples and case studies are given in each chapter that make the book suitable for supporting university graduate courses in wind loading and response.
Download or read book Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities written by Task Committee on Anchor Bolt Design and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by theØTask Committee on Wind-Induced Forces and Task Committee on Anchor Bolt Design of the Petrochemical Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE. This report presents state-of-the-practice set of guidelines for the determination of wind-induced forces and the design of anchor bolts for petrochemical facilities. Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. As a result, engineers and petrochemical companies have independently developed procedures and techniques for handling engineering issues such as the twoØcontained in this report. A lack of standardization in the industry has led to inconsistent structural reliability, however. This volume is intended for structural design engineers familiar with design of industrial-type structures.

Download or read book An Assessment of Existing Studies of Wind Loading on Solar Collectors written by Lawrence Martin Murphy and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses current design and testing procedures for wind loading. The test results corresponding to numerous wind tests on heliostats, parabolic troughs, parabolic dishes, and field mounted photovoltaic arrays are discussed and the applicability of the findings across the various technologies is assessed. One of the most significant consistencies in the data from all of the technologies is the apparent benefit provided by fences and field shielding. Taken in toto, these data show that load reductions of three or possibly more seem feasible, though a more thorough understanding of the phenomena involved must be attained before this benefit can be realized. It is recommended that the required understanding be developed to take advantage of this benefit and that field tests be conducted to correlate with both analyses and tests.

This book was released on 2000-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of cold formed steel framing in the residential market has increased over the past years. Its price stability, consistent quality, similarity to conventional framing, successes in the commercial market, & resistance to fire, rot, & termites have attracted the attention of many builders. However, lack of prescriptive construction requirements has prevented this alternative material from gaining wider acceptance among home builders & code officials. This handbook provides background, engineering assumptions & methods, & detailed calculations for this method. Illustrated.
