This paper first justifies the use of the ”extreme wind velocity averaged over a mile or minute“ as a ”basic design wind velocity” in preference to absolute peak velocities which cannot be considered independently of the size of the structure, and of the dynamic response of anemometer, structure, and structural materials.
