What is Wind?
• Features of hurricanes:
– High speed sustained winds up to 74 mi/h
– Typical diameter of 311 miles
– Cyclonic effect with direction of spin controlled
by Coriolis effect

• Basic Procedure
• Analytical Procedure
• Wind Tunnel Procedure
Limitations of Basic & Analytical
Procedures
• Factors not taken into consideration:
– Across wind loading as a result of vortex
shedding or instability due to galloping and
fluttering
– Does not have a site location for which
channeling effects or buffeting in the wake of
upwind obstructions warrant special
consideration
Across Wind Loading
• Vortex shedding
Turbulent flow on high-rise
buildings due to upwind
obstructions
Other limitations of Basic
