"A brief Introduction of steel cladding failures under wind uplift load. Explaining the importance of roof and wall cladding system to support the structural integrity of the whole structure during the cyclone or storm events. The objective of this thesis is to develop a dimensionless formula for predicting pull-out failure under wind uplift loading. Chapter two presents the behaviour of steel roofing systems under wind uplift loading/suction. It also describes the types of cladding, connection, and failure mechanism of the roofing systems. Chapter three and four Presents a review of previous literature published on pull-out and pull-through strength of steel roofing systems subjected to wind uplift/suction. Chapter five presents the detailed analysis to determine the pull out strength of steel roof claddings using Buckingham theorem, excel spreadsheet and solver program."

"This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, highlighting practical issues and illustrating applications with a large number of worked out examples. In the spirit of learning by doing it encourages readers to apply immediately these methods by means of the software provided, allowing them to become familiar with the broad field of structural dynamics in the process.The book is primarily focused on practical applications. Earthquake resistant design is presented in a holistic manner, discussing both the underlying geophysical concepts and the latest engineering design methods and illustrated by fully worked out examples based on the newest structural codes. The spectral characteristics of turbulent wind processes and the main analysis methods in the field of structural oscillations due to wind gusts and vortex shedding are also discussed and applications illustrated by realistic examples of slender chimney structures. The user‐friendly software employed is downloadable and can be readily used by readers to tackle their own problems."

"This book provides an essential overview of wind science and engineering, taking readers on a journey through the origins, developments, fundamentals, recent advancements and latest trends in this broad field. Along the way, it addresses a diverse range of topics, including: atmospheric physics; meteorology; micrometeorology; climatology; the aerodynamics of buildings, aircraft, sailing boats, road vehicles and trains; wind energy; atmospheric pollution; soil erosion; snow drift, windbreaks and crops; bioclimatic city-planning and architecture; wind actions and effects on structures; and wind hazards, vulnerability and risk. In order to provide a comprehensive overview of wind and its manifold effects, the book combines scientific, descriptive and narrative chapters.The book is chiefly intended for students and lecturers, for those who want to learn about the genesis and evolution of this topic, and for the multitude of scholars whose work involves the wind."
