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 ac [...]

The authors have proposed recently a general theoretic setup for the performance-based design of structures under wind actions [1]: the study has been developed in the fr [...]

Wind engineering problems are characterized by the significant uncertainty affecting both the acting loads and the structural characteristics. A relevant contribution is [...]

The design of wind sensitive structures must take into account many sources of uncertainty related to: (a) the basic environmental parameters that describe the wind field [...]

The modern design philosophy known as the performance-based design has earned the attention of the scientific community over the last two decades, especially in the field [...]
