Wind Effects on Buildings and Structures presents the full proceedings of a landmark conference held at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex, on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of June 1963, convened under the auspices of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Spread across two authoritative volumes, this Symposium No. 16 brings together the foremost researchers and engineers of the era, compiling their papers, findings, and debates into a comprehensive scientific record that addresses aerodynamic loading, structural response, wind pressure measurement, and the behaviour of buildings under dynamic wind forces.\n\nPublished by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, this two-volume set stands as a foundational reference in the field of wind engineering, arriving at a pivotal moment when rapid post-war construction demanded rigorous, empirically grounded design standards. The assembled contributions illuminate the intersection of meteorology, fluid dynamics, and structural mechanics, drawing on cutting-edge experimental methods from one of Britain's most prestigious scientific institutions. For engineers, architects, and researchers with an interest in the physical forces that shape the built environment, these volumes remain an indispensable historical document — and a testament to the precision of thought that defines great structural science.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336806342875,"sku":"2026100008779-SECONDHAND","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2c9311b2-0139-4959-a246-c2a2becc6cc8.png?v=1789958150","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008779-secondhand-wind-effects-on-buildings-and-structures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
