Abstract
The current status of North and South American research on the prediction of tall building behaviour in response to wind is reviewed under the headings, meteorological research on wind structure and climate, full-scale tests, development of wind tunnel techniques, and simplified prediction formulae for gust effects. The need for cooperation in gathering and applying both full-scale and wind tunnel data is stressed. Over forty references published in the last ten years are given, arranged chronologically under each of the four main headings.
