This article looks at the calculation of across-wind response of structures. The focus is on the calculation of cross-wind response of rectangular buildings, which is not covered by Eurocode 1, Part 1-4 (BS EN 1991-1-4) or BS 6399-2.

Corrigendum
On p. 40 the return periods for basic design wind speeds in Singapore should have been given as 50-year and 100-year, not 50-year and 1000-year. The article was updated on 3 March 2017.
