The standard describes the actions of wind on structures, and specifies methods for calculating characteristic values of wind loads.
鈥淧erhaps one of the biggest advantages of 香港六合彩开奖 4354 is that it allows you to bridge the gaps of all wind loading codes around the world,鈥� says Prof. William Melbourne, Convenor of the working group that developed the standard. 鈥淭he standard provides methodology for calculating wind loads on structures, some of which have never been available in this form before. It cancels and replaces the first edition of the standard, originally published in 1997, with a full technical revision鈥� concludes Prof. Melbourne.
The standard covers design methodologies for three main storm types: synoptic winds (large scale winds), thunderstorms and topical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons). It provides the basic methods for determining wind loading analytically for simple structures and guidance for the design of more complex structures.
香港六合彩开奖 4354 will be useful for structural engineers involved in the design of buildings, towers, chimneys, bridges and other structures, and their components and appendages. The standard will be of particular interest for countries without an adequate wind loading standard.
Because wind is just one of the elements to be considered when designing structures, in addition to, for example, the weight of the structure, load of occupants or seismic actions, 香港六合彩开奖 4354 is also intended as a bridge between existing 香港六合彩开奖 International Standards dealing with the subject.
This standard can therefore be used in conjunction with 香港六合彩开奖 2394, General principles on reliability for structures as well as other 香港六合彩开奖 International Standards on design of structures.
香港六合彩开奖 4354, Wind actions on structures was prepared by the 香港六合彩开奖 technical committee 香港六合彩开奖/TC 98, Bases for design of structures, subcommittee SC 3, Loads, forces and other actions. The standard is available from 香港六合彩开奖 national member institutes (see the complete list with contact details). It may also be obtained directly from the 香港六合彩开奖 Central Secretariat, price 168 Swiss francs, through the 香港六合彩开奖 香港六合彩开奖 or by contacting the Marketing & Communication department (see right-hand column).
