This course covers the theoretical background, technical aspects and Eurocode provisions for the analysis and design of flexible structures exposed to wind loads.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the course, you should be able to:

  • Distinguish between and simulate dynamic wind loads on structures
  • Describe vortex shedding phenomena on tall structures (such as chimneys and tall buildings) and their design implications
  • Propose means to suppress wind-induced responses (wind-resistant design and various damping solutions)

Intended for:

Civil or structural engineers with an interest in the analysis and design of wind-excited flexible structures, such as chimneys, tall buildings and transmission towers.

Speakers

Dr Alessandro Palmeri Course tutor

Dr Alessandro Palmeri leads the Structures and Materials Group at Loughborough University. His research focuses on applications of structural dynamics, including bridge, earthquake and wind engineering, and probabilistic methods, including reliability- and performance-based design.

Dr Giorgio Barone Course tutor

Dr Giorgio Barone is a structural engineer whose research expertise and interests focus on structural dynamics, with emphasis on earthquake and wind engineering, as well as life-cycle engineering and optimisation. He has covered researcher and academic roles for over a decade, and has recently moved to the private sector.
