- Abstract
- A technical meeting concerning wind loads on buildings and structures was held at the National Bureau of Standards in 1969 to promote the exchange of information between research workers and practicing engineers engaged in this important area of technology. Thirteen papers covering four themes were presented. These themes were as follows: engineering problems in the design of structures to resist wind loads; atmospheric considerations; experimental and theoretical determination of aerodynamic forces; and recent advances in design procedures and current deficiencies.
