Overview
This course covers the theoretical background, technical aspects and Eurocode provisions for the analysis and design of flexible structures exposed to wind loads.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Distinguish and simulate dynamic wind loads on structures
Describe vortex shedding phenomena on tall structures (such as chimneys and tall buildings) and their design implications
Propose means to suppress wind-induced responses (wind-resistant design and various damping solutions)
Who should attend?
Civil or structural engineers with an interest in the analysis and design of wind-excited flexible structures such as chimneys, tall buildings and transmission towers
