Product Description
Some tall buildings sustain motions and other effects in intense wind storms which cause discomfort to the occupants. The results of surveys conducted of occupants of two buildings after several wind storms are given in detail. The writers propose a methodology and criterion format for rationally analyzing the wind-motion-discomfort problem for tall buildings. Finally, tentative motion criterion values, based primarily on the two occupant surveys presented, are proposed.
