Recent Developments and Uncertainty Aspects in the Performance Based Design of Structures for Wind


Abstract eng:
The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of damage and loss analysis in the Performance-Based Wind Engineering. The loss of structural serviceability under the action of wind is not rare, especially for high-rise buildings (lack of comfort for building residents) and for suspension bridges (temporary closure of the bridge to the users). In these cases, the damage and loss evaluations are not trivial and are very poorly investigated in literature. Starting from a literature review damage and loss analysis for wind, and on the basis of critical analysis and synthesis, a conceptual framework is presented for the consideration of these issues, not only for the safety, but also for the serviceability assessment of structures.
