Analysis, Simulation and Control of Peak Pressure Loads on Low-Rise Structures
Wind storms pose dangerous threats to human lives and are an enormous drain on the economy. Their damage to buildings usually starts with the failure of structural components that are subjected to excessive wind loads. In this dissertation, we investigate the characteristics of extreme loads on low-...
