Abstract

Paper No. 6480 THE APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL CONCEPTS TO THE WIND LOADING OF STRUCTURES Alan Gamett Davenport, M.A., M.A.Sc. Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering Science, University of Western Ontario; (formerly D.S.I.R. Research Fellow, and Research Assistant, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Bristol) For written discussion SYNOPSIS In the Paper the statistical concepts of the stationary time series are used to determine the response of a simple structure to a turbulent, gusty wind. This to enables the peak stresses, accelerations, deflexions, etc...
