Wind Loading of Structures (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This authoritative source for practising and academic sturctural engineers and graduate students ties the principles of wind loads on structures to meteorology, bluff-body aerodynamics, probability and statistics, and structural dynamics. It provides a broad view of codes and standards with information on global wind climates.
