KB 001852 | How to Comply With the Requirements of the Eurocode Using the Application of CFD in Wind Load Calculation

The importance of wind-structure interaction has risen in recent years due to an increasing number of structures of varying heights and shapes. Experimental and numerical approaches are used to determine the interaction. Many structures are being evaluated in wind tunnels as part of the experimental investigations. In this approach, the impacts caused by wind loads may be calculated. Large-scale structures, such as tall buildings, bridges, and stadiums, benefit greatly from wind tunnel testing, but they are very expensive and time-consuming methods. Structural wind loads are also determined using CFD and experimental investigations, which are cheaper and faster methods.
