Abstract This paper presents an extensive review of existing techniques used in estimating design wind pressures considering Reynolds number and turbulence effects, as well a case study reference building investigated experimentally. We shed light on the limitations current aerodynamic testing techniques, provisions standards, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to predict wind-induced p...

conclusions this study indicates that low-load rt results in greater accumulations in vl compared to high-load rt over the course of 8 weeks of training. results after adjusting for the pre-test scores, there was a significant difference between the two intervention groups on post-intervention total vl with a very large effect size (f (1, 15) = 16.598, p = .001, ηp2 = .525). there was a signifi...

Transient nonstationary extreme winds such as thunderstorm downbursts are responsible for significant structural damage and failures. This study deals with the frequency domain analysis of alongwind tall building response to transient nonstationary winds based on nonstationary random vibration theory. The transient wind fluctuations and associated wind loads are modeled as the sum of determinis...
