This course is designed for:
 Structural Engineers who need to develop
structural concepts and carry out designs.
 Construction Engineers involved in and willing to
be part of building projects who need to be equipped
with the state-of-the-art practices related to design of
buildings for wind-effects.
 Architects, Planners interested in knowing
techniques and practices in design of buildings for
wind induced effects.
 Others who want state-of-the-art information on
wind engineering applications for the buildings.
Participants will be introduced to:
 Basics of wind engineering, wind climate, wind
speed, gust speed and dynamic responses of
buildings to wind effects.
 Concepts behind perception of motion, serviceability
acceleration levels in tall buildings responding to
wind loadings, pedestrian comfort requirements.
 Different wind code approaches and applications.
 Learn computer aided techniques for analysing
buildings for wind effects
 Case-studies of Advanced Modelling and Analysis of
Buildings for Wind induced effects.
 Design challenges and good detailing practices of
buildings for wind induced effects – case studies
