The aim of this work is to bridge the gap between experimental approaches in wind tunnel testing and numerical computations, in the field of structural design against strong winds. This paper focuses on the generation of an unsteady flow field, representative of a natural wind field, but...
For some projects, applying the basic rules of EC1 is not sufficient, and it is required to get a more accurate estimation of the wind speed on the construction site. This can be done by using computational fluid dynamics codes which have the advantage, both to take into account the terrain inhomogene...
The development of a new concept of wind alarm systems for road and rail transportation is presented. The alarm is funded on a risk assessment approach, taking into account wind modelling and prediction, aerodynamic forces, vehicle dynamics.
