It was thought, for many years, that wind should only be expressed as a horizontal quantity when calculating its effect on a structure. The building industry has adjusted this analysis to include perpendicular wind forcing to all structural forces, along with measurements of suction and pressure, both externally and internally. The analysis of the correct wind loading for steel buildings continues to evolve.
(to be cont. Fri. … )
