International Codes, Building Wind Loads, Roofs, Walls, Internal Pressure and Critical Pressure Zones
Wind is one of the most variable and misunderstood actions in structural engineering. A reliable wind design requires far more than selecting a wind speed and multiplying it by a pressure coefficient. Engineers must understand wind-speed definitions, terrain, exposure, topography, aerodynamic coefficients, gust effects, internal pressure, dynamic response, load combinations, structural systems, building envelopes, and localized pressure effects. Wind Load Design Handbook - Volume 2 provides a comprehensive and practical treatment of these subjects, taking the reader from international wind-design standards to the detailed assessment of wind actions on real building components.
- low-rise buildings;
- roofs and roof systems;
- flat and pitched roofs;
- curved and saw-tooth roofs;
- roof overhangs and canopies;
- walls and façades;
- curtain walls and glazing;
- doors and windows;
- building envelopes;
- internal pressure and openings;
- dominant openings;
- rooftop equipment;
- components and cladding;
- localized wind-pressure zones;
- roof corners and edges;
- parapets;
- setbacks and discontinuities;
- and critical local pressure regions.
students, researchers, reviewers, and engineering consultants, this handbook combines technical principles with practical workflows, design checks, calculation concepts, common errors, quality-control procedures, and engineering lessons. Whether you are designing a warehouse roof, checking a high-rise façade, evaluating a building with large openings, designing roof-edge connections, comparing international wind codes, or reviewing a complete structural wind-load calculation, this volume provides a structured framework for understanding the problem. A valuable reference for both learning and professional practice, Wind Load Design Handbook - Volume 2 is designed to help engineers transform complex wind phenomena into rational, defensible, and resilient structural design decisions.
