Description

Non-synoptic, local wind storm events like tornadoes and downbursts cause significant damage across the globe. In North America, these specific wind events are responsible for more than 65% of total wind damage. Despite this high impact, there are currently no standard guidelines or code implementations to address these catastrophic occurrences. This handbook from Oxford University Press addresses the growing need for research in this field. As we move through the third decade of the twenty-first century, the text explores the first phase of addressing these events. It covers essential topics including the characterization, simulation, and loading of wind storms. The content also examines how these storms affect the structural integrity of buildings, focusing on collapse-mode effects. By investigating both the physical mechanics and the socioeconomic implications of these events, this book provides a foundation for understanding one of the most destructive weather phenomena in the modern era.

Key Features

Addresses the critical gap in current guidelines and code implementations for managing damage from non-synoptic wind events.

Provides detailed research on the characterization and simulation of local wind storms like tornadoes and downbursts.

Examines the loading effects and collapse-mode impacts that these specific wind events have on buildings and structures.

Explores the socioeconomic implications resulting from catastrophic wind storm events in different parts of the world.

Offers a comprehensive look at the current phase of research regarding wind damage that exceeds 65% of total wind damage in North America.
