Wind on Buildings
Live loads on buildings, such as wind, snow, earthquake and floor loads, are receiving increased attention to match the more accurate structural analyses that are possible. Wind loads have become particularly significant because of the increasing number of high-rise buildings. Other factors have also contributed to the importance of wind in design: light-weight low-slope roofs, curtain wall construction and the appearance of special structures having 'aerodynamic shapes.'
