An Assessment of Methods for Determining Wind Loads

January 1, 2013
Author(s)
Emil Simiu, Chris Letchford, Nicholas Isyumov, Arindam Chowdhury, DongHun Yeo
The purpose of this work is to present an assessment of methods for determining wind loads on buildings and other structures that warrant comment, correction or improvement. The assessment is intended to serve as a resource as a new version of the American

Meteorological extremes

December 28, 2012
Author(s)
Franklin T. Lombardo, Adam L. Pintar, Antonio Possolo, Emil Simiu, DongHun Yeo
This entry reviews basic principles of the statistical analysis of large extreme values (EVs), the role of simulations for the development of relevant meteorological data sets, the interaction between the extreme value modeling process and its application

NIST ADVANCES IN COMPUTER-AIDED AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN WIND ENGINEERING

October 19, 2012
Author(s)
Dong Hun Yeo, Franklin T. Lombardo, Dilip K. Banerjee, Eric J. Letvin, Emil Simiu, Marc L. Levitan, Florian A. Potra
The paper summarizes recent research and development of computer-aided and computational methods in wind engineering at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Specific topics to be covered include: 1. Time-domain database-assisted

Investigation Plan - National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Technical Investigation of Building and Emergency Communications System Performance in the Joplin, Missouri, Tornado of May 22, 2011

May 24, 2012
Author(s)
Marc L. Levitan, Long T. Phan, Erica D. Kuligowski, Franklin T. Lombardo, David P. Jorgensen
Following the May 22, 2011 tornado that devastated the City of Joplin, NIST sent four engineers to Missouri on May 24 through May 28 to conduct a preliminary reconnaissance. Based on analysis of the data collected and other criteria required by law and

The purpose of this work is to present an assessment of methods for determining wind loads on buildings and other structures that warrant comment, correction or improvement. The assessment is intended to serve as a resource as a new version of the ASCE-7

Database-Assisted Design for Wind: Multiple Points-in-Time Approach

December 22, 2011
Author(s)
Dong Hun Yeo
One of the problems encountered in the estimation of wind effects on high-rise structures is the development of combinations of such effects as translational responses and the rotational response to wind, and/or forces and moments at various cross sections

DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE DIRECTIONAL WIND SPEED DATABASES

April 25, 2011
Author(s)
Dong Hun Yeo
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
