The field of structural wind engineering is in the process of a momentous transformation. Uplift pressures for the design of components and cladding on roofs have been significantly revised. Performance-based wind design is under development. Wind loads are evolving to include t…

The wind design of tall buildings is moving towards the performance-based design (PBD) methodology due mainly to its advantages in clearly articulating stakeholder expectations, explicitly satisfying performance objectives and considerably reducing building life-cycle cost. The …
