Abstract

Two rather disparate issues, although both are stochastic in nature, arising from wind engineering are considered in this paper. The first issue involves methods for digitally generating sample functions of a wind velocity field. Such digital generation of sample functions is a prerequisite to successful implementation of the time and space domain analysis of wind-induced structural response. This is particularly true within the context of Monte Carlo soluations to various problems not amenable to frequency and wave number domain analysis. The second issue is concerned with the reliability analysis of building structures subjected to multiple natural hazards (seismic and wind in this case) within the framework of contemporary probabilistic risk assessment procedures.
