Article Title: Wind-induced Vibrations

As modern structures move toward taller and more flexible designs, the problems of wind effects on structures -those compromising structural integrity and those inducing human discomfort-have become increasingly apparent. To fully address this problem, a diverse collection of contributions must be considered, as illustrated in Figure 1. It is the complexity and uncertainty of the wind field and its interaction with structures that necessitates such an interdisciplinary approach, involving scientific fields such as meteorology, fluid dynamics, statistical theory of turbulence, structural dynamics, and probabilistic methods. The following sections will describe the contributions from each of these areas, beginning with a description of the wind field characteristics and the resulting wind loads on structures. Subsequent sections will then address procedures for determining wind-induced response, including traditional random vibration theory and code-based approximations, with an example to illustrate the application of both approaches. The treatment of wind effects on structures will conclude with a discussion of aeroelastic effects, wind tunnel testing, and the evolving numerical approaches. <insert Figure 1 near here>
