Wind Engineering

Lecture: Wind Engineering

Wind induced loadings on civil structures like buildings, bridges, slender towers etc.
Describe the meteorologic context, the topography and the building surrounding for the location of interest
The aerodynamic behaviour which is mainly influenced by the buildings’ shape, geometry and permeability has to be analyzed in detail
Statistical analysis of the characteristic load values for local elements (like claddings or roof elements)
Calculate the dynamic properties of simple dynamic systems
The dynamic response of slender structures due to wind load effects
