Recent and Current Wind Engineering Research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
This paper presents a brief review of recent and current NIST research on wind effects on structures aimed to improve and modernize current standard provisions and design practices and achieve a more resilient built environment in regions subjected to significant wind loads. The review covers research on the development of the contiguous United States wind maps included in Standard ASCE 7-16 to replace earlier maps, according to which the extreme wind climate is the same throughout most of the U.S. territory: development of wind load factors for use in wind tunnel procedures and the need to change the ISO 80% percentage point for the design peak pressure coefficients by a 57% percentage point; estimation on non-Gaussian peaks using the peaks-over-threshold two-dimensional Poisson process; codification of pressures on components and cladding; development of computational wind engineering (CWE) algorithms aimed to achieve numerical tools for use in structural engineering practice within the next decade; progress in tornado hazard mapping and tornado resistant design; and joint wind, storm surge, and wave hazards and their combined effects on structures.
