Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures.

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.
