Wind forces on tall buildings

Rathbun, J.C.

Observations on behavior of Empire State Building, New York, under wind pressure for determination of relation between wind velocity and pressure produced; variation of stresses due to wind across bent; portal and cantilever methods of analysis; horizontal load that should be used in designing tall building to insure rigidity and stability; stiffening effect of masonry; results of tests of model of building. (See also - n 9 discussion Nov 1938 p 1907-9)
