Abstract
The design of low-rise structures for wind loads is normally based on quasi-steady wind loads, obtained from design codes which usually over estimate the peak structural load effects, such as bending moments, ax ial forces and the base reactions. The work described in this paper ut ilised existing statistical wind tunnel data obtained for 5 degrees ro of pitch, low-rise buildings and performed frame designs optimised for the wind data.
