IMPACT OF HEAVY WINDS ON STRUCTURES Wind is the flow of gases on large scale, containing bulk movement of air. It is caused by difference in the atmospheric pressure, such that, encourages movement of air from the higher to lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speed. Wind forces ...

FOUNDATION DESIGN: SUBSTRUCTURES are situated within the soil, at the point of good bearing capacity, where it is believed that the structures load will not cause shearing within the soil layer. Therefore the essential requirements is as follows: - Determine the sub-soil investigation, which will provide ...

Performance based design has always been an aspect of engineering design, especially when there is need for specific details as mentioned. Performance is activity oriented, which in design involves the functionality of the structure (ie, loading), environment (ie, location), and cost (ie, quality engineering). ...
