Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second part of a three part guide which attempts to bring to the disposal of the designer the optimum methods and data for the design of buildings and other structures to resist wind loads.;Part 1 "Background, Damage Survey, Wind Data and Structural Classification" was published in 1985, and the third part, "Dynamic Structures" will be prepared during the next several years.;This part gives the wind load assessment methods and data for structures that can be designed by static methods, as defined by the classification procedure of Part 1. It is a compilation of the most up-to-date information available worldwide in a form suitable for use by structural engineers and others for the design of building structures.
