Proceedings: Workshop on Research Needs in Wind Engineering
Abstract
This report presents findings and recommendations developed at a workshop on research needs in wind engineering. Representatives from universities, the private sector, and Federal agencies presented program overviews and participated in working group sessions addressing various aspects of wind engineering research and wind disaster mitigation. Research needs and topics for technology transfer were identified and prioritized. It was concluded that current funding of wind engineering research in the United States falls far short of what is needed to effectively address the problem of spiraling losses due to wind damage. There is, however, considerable wind engineering knowledge now available for implementation by the model building codes and by the building industry in general.
