Wind Effects on Structures: Fundamentals and Applications to Design Emil Simiu, Robert H. Scanlan
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience

In general, buildings usually designed to withstand probable combinations of climatic extremes and to make indoor conditions comfortable and healthful regardless of weather conditions outside. Wind Effects on Structures Fundamentals and Applications to Design. Effective structural support requires that any component of the air barrier system must resist the positive or negativestructural loads that are imposed on that component by wind, stack effect, and HVAC fan pressures without rupture, displacement or undue deflection. Wind in Architectural and Environmental Design. Climatology: Fundamentals and Applications. Venture effect (channeling); wind breaks . Today this kind of design, at a fundamental level of form giving and structure mapping, has all but been forgotten by the mainstream. The Duke of Devonshire: 9780967914374 Wind Effects on Structures: Fundamentals and Applications to Design (9780471121572): Emil Simiu, Robert H. It explains the air pressures on buildings, the fundamentals of controlling those pressures, air barrier material requirements, combination "air and vapor barriers," and the required properties of air barriers systems. Recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of wind resistant structures, this edition reflects the numerous changes that have occurred during the past decade.
