Wind loading of structures
"Preface to the third edition Since the publication of the second edition of Wind Loading of Structures, strong windstorms have continued to occur at frequent intervals across the world: Hurricane 'Sandy' (2012) on the east coast of the United States, and Typhoon 'Haiyan' in...
