Wind Engineering is a compendium of papers from the Fifth International Conference on Wind Engineering held in Colorado, USA, on July 8-14, 1979. Papers discuss the social and economic impact of wind storms, particularly the need for improvement in decision making in building construction, development of design and construction criteria for low-income housing. Other papers describe snow-management and microzonation studies to quantify, with better precision, the probabilities used in decision models. Some papers describe localized wind environments and wind loading (fluctuating internal, fluctuating external). Other papers analyze the dynamic response of tall buildings and towers, such as in crosswinds, wind direction, alongwind, and wind action with interference effects from similar surrounding buildings. Experiments show that by properly modeling a structure in a boundary layer wind tunnel, the investigator can obtain results which are dynamically fully comparable to a full scale situation. Another paper discusses the recommendations of the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork in calculating the wind effects on buildings and structures. The compendium can be appreciated by environmentalist, civil engineers, structural engineers, architects, physicists, students and professors of meteorology.
