Features: This book covers five main aspects of the wind load chain: global wind climate, site wind characteristics, aerodynamic response, structural wind-induced response, and design standards. The main content includes wind climate, natural wind in the atmospheric boundary layer, static wind loads, wind-induced response of single-degree-of-freedom structures in the direction, bluff-body wind-induced response, cross-wind-induced response caused by vortex shedding, wind load on bridges, galloping, and basic theories and computational methods for wind tunnel tests. Additionally, the appendix provides mathematical statistics knowledge and computational methods related to wind load and structural wind response calculations. The above content enables readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental theories and methods in wind engineering research. The chapters are well-organized, focusing on the explanation and derivation of basic concepts and formulas, providing detailed elaboration on relevant theoretical knowledge and research methods. It combines theoretical analysis with code application, making it widely applicable. This book can serve as a reference for structural wind resistance design and wind engineering research, as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate or graduate students in civil engineering.
