Abstract

For structures sensitive to wind directionality, methods for the estimation of wind effects require the use of time series of directional wind speeds with length exceeding the length of the MRIs of interest. This study proposes a procedure for generating such time series from relatively short synoptic wind data sets. The focus in this paper is on the estimation of the parameters of a probabilistic model of the wind speeds and on errors in the estimation. The wind speed data being generated can be used in the Database-Assisted Design approach to account for directional wind effects.
