NSCP WIND LOAD PROVISIONS INTRODUCTION FACTORS AFFECTING THE WIND INDUCED LOADS ON BUILDINGS ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS AERODYNAMIC EFFECTS GUST EFFECTS • These include geological locations, climate, terrain, and other natural factors affecting wind velocity. • These include the shape, size, orientation, and other structural properties affecting the behavior of a building subject to wind. • It is part of both the atmospheric and aerodynamic effects. • It refers to the structural response under the peaks in wind velocity that occur over relatively short time spans.
NSCP WIND LOAD PROVISIONS ATMOSPHERIC EFFECTS METEOROLOGY • Codes, in general, use the study of the atmosphere, specifically wind climatology. • Wind climatology deals with the study and prediction of storm conditions. • Codes use the information from this branch of science to determine the maximum design wind loads that can be expected on a building or structure during its lifespan.
