Abstract
Cooling towers are extremely sensitive to wind loads, static and fluctuating, and thorough knowledge of the load and the structural response is a demand of reliability and economy. With increasing height of cooling towers and decreasing shell curvature, bending effects due to loads with a non-uniform distribution, such as turbulent wind pressures, become important for the safety of the structure. The treatment of wind-induced random vibrations with the spectral analysis needs a three-dimensional description of the flow, especially for investigations of bending effects. For many design situations of the cooling tower shell it is profitable to take a look at the correlation structure of the responses.
