Building Design for Wind Forces:

A Guide to ASCE 7-16 Standards

Design and construct safer buildings that will better withstand extreme wind forces using the hands-on information contained in this comprehensive engineering guide. Written by a recognized structural design expert, the book explains the general concepts and principals involved in the design of buildings and structures for wind forces. Structural systems used to resist wind forces are outlined and explained, in the context of both low-rise and high-rise buildings.

Building design for Wind Forces provides easy-to-follow summaries of complex ASCE 7-16 wind load provisions and shows how to apply the corresponding design procedures using practical examples. A detailed discussion of typical structural damage caused by extreme wind events such as hurricanes and tornadoes is presented along with design recommendations. Current wind engineering activities and recent research developments are discussed, and a general overview of wind tunnel procedures and an introduction to the concept of Database-Assisted Design (DAD) is provided.
