Abstract

This chapter deals with wind-induced structural vibrations from the point of view of structural engineering. Basically, no civil engineering structure is safe from wind loading effects. Of critical importance are the non-stationary characteristics of natural wind and the dynamic properties of the structure it acts upon. Simple rules for the construction industry can only be defined by making radical simplifying assumptions. For complex structures it is necessary to resort to the results of wind tunnel tests.
