Climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing building regulations, particularly concerning wind loads on structures. As climate patterns shift, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, including storms and high winds, are projected to increase, necessitating a reevaluation of existing building codes and standards. One significant aspect of this issue is... Continue Reading →
The Critical Role of Wind Engineering in High-Rise Building Safety: Preventing Collapses and Enhancing Structural Resilience
High-rise buildings are vulnerable to wind-induced forces that can lead to catastrophic collapses if not properly addressed during design, construction, and maintenance. This article explores the critical role of wind engineering in preventing such failures, focusing on key factors such as wind load assessment, aeroelastic resonance, material fatigue, foundation stability, and dynamic amplification. Case studies,... Continue Reading →
