F. Naeher et al., AN OBJECT-ORIENTED APPROACH TO WIND-RELATED STRUCTURAL SAFETY ANALYSIS, Journal of wind engineering and industrial aerodynamics, 48(1), 1993, pp. 63-77
A structural safety assessment program has been developed using an obj
ect-oriented programming approach. Its emphasis is on structural safet
y for extreme wind events. The program is described in detail, along w
ith the advantages of the object-oriented approach. Work-in-progress b
ased upon this assessment program is outlined.
