Performance-Based Wind Engineering

Introduction

This research illustrates a probabilistic procedure for the Performance-Based Design of structures subject to wind action. The central objective of the procedure is the assessment of the adequacy of the structure through the probabilistic description of a set of decision variables DVs.
