Advances in Structural Wind-Resistant Analysis and Disaster Mitigation

Dear Colleagues,

Given the rapid pace of climate change, there has been an increasing frequency of extreme wind events such as typhoons/hurricanes, downbursts, tornadoes, and severe mountainous winds. These extreme winds often lead to severe structural vibrations or failures in a wide range of engineering structures. Under these conditions, the high-fidelity analysis of structural wind effects via theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, wind tunnel test, and field measurement becomes a critical issue in the field of structural wind engineering, and wind disaster mitigation has attracted a great deal of attention in engineering communities. In this regard, this topic is devoted to sharing recent advances in structural wind-resistant analysis and disaster mitigation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Wind field analysis and simulation of extreme winds;
• Modelling of structural aerodynamics;
• Structural reliability analysis exposed to wind disasters;
• Uncertainty quantification of wind-induced stochastic dynamics;
• Experiments of extreme wind effects on structures;
• AI-based approaches for structural wind-resistant analysis;
• Prediction of wind speeds and structural wind effects;
• Mitigation of wind-induced vibrations.
