Wind forces are responsible for approximately $10 billion per annum in damage in the USA, this cost can be mitigated by the application of wind engineering principles. This book explains these principles and provides guidance on the design of structures to counteract wind loading problems.
Bridging the gap between wind and structural engineering, Wind Loading of Structures is essential reading for practising civil, structural and mechanical engineers, and graduate students of wind engineering, presenting the principles of wind engineering and providing guidance on the successful design of structures for wind loading by gales, hurricanes, typhoons, thunderstorm downdrafts and tornados.

John D. Holmes is a consulting engineer and researcher, with over thirty years international experience in research, teaching and consulting in the wind loading of structures.
