The Structural Engineer, Volume 42, Issue 8, 1964
The paper describes computer programmes for calculating influence line or influence surface ordinates for plane frames for the in-plane or transverse loading. F. Sawko
The problems of wind loads on high buildings of unconventional shape are discussed as a function of building shape and characteristics of the natural wind. The new Toronto City Hall is used to demonstrate how wind loads, their distribution and fluctuation can create critical structural problems. The natural wind loads were obtained from wind tunnel tests on a City Hall model. These tests are described in enough detail to familiarize the structural engineer with the value and potential as well as the shortcomings of wind tunnel testing of buildings. G.K. Korbacher and N. Seethaler
This month's letters concern subsidence, Category 3 checks and New Zealand seismic masonry codes.
