This book provides detailed information on the design of wind resistant structures. It includes material on building code provisions for wind loads on low rise buildings. It provides engineers with up-to-date methods and standards for the construction of wind-resistant structures and reflects the increased use of instrumentation and computers to predict structural loading and the creation of more stringent building codes.
