Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

Types of Windstorms

How has the way you view mythology in contemporary culture changed?

The conventional view of mythology focuses on the classical paradigm – the Greek and Roman myths, although occasionally one will hear from the Norse gods as well in school literature classes. However, learning that mythology persists into the present day was a real eye-opener for me. Giving me insight into the ways mythology permeates modern literature and culture, I can now understand the archetypal roles that people played then – and may always continue to play.

Has this changed your understanding of anything else?

Yes, because the myths that a culture propagates indicate quite a bit about that culture's beliefs as far as power structures and the ways that ...
