Performance-Based Design of Concrete Building for Wind Loads
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-240:2006 standard contains six papers that were presented at a technical session on Performance-Based Design for Wind Loads. The papers cover a range of topics including an overview of performance-based design, the nature of wind loading and wind tunnel testing, structural modeling assumptions, components of lateral deformations in buildings, and the types of concrete structural systems for wind loading.
The first paper, "Performance-Based Design of RC Buildings for Wind Loads—Overview and Issues" by J.M. Bracci provides an overview of performance-based design for reinforced concrete buildings and discusses the issues related to wind loads.
The second paper, "The Nature of Wind Loads and Dynamic Response" by D. Boggs and J. Dragovich explores the nature of wind loads and their dynamic response on buildings.
The third paper, "Structural Systems for Concrete Buildings" by M.C. Mota and B.S. Taranath discusses different types of concrete structural systems that are used for withstanding wind loads.
The fourth paper, "Modeling Assumptions for Lateral Analysis" by J.F. Horvilleur, V.B. Patel, and K.A. Young discusses the modeling assumptions that are made for lateral analysis of buildings in relation to wind loads.
The fifth paper, "Components of Lateral Deflection in Sway Frames" also by J.F. Horvilleur, V.B. Patel, and K.A. Young focuses on the components of lateral deflection in sway frames under wind loads.
The sixth paper, "Wind Tunnel Methods" by D. Boggs and A. Lepage discusses the methods used for wind tunnel testing in relation to wind loads on buildings.
