Wind-Induced Motion of Tall Buildings: Designing for Habitability
By Unknown Author.
Description
Tall and super-tall buildings are going up all over the world, notably in east and south Asia, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East. Advances in materials, structural design, and wind enginerring ensure that these buildings meet strength and safety requirements.
