Building codes exist for a very simple reason; to ensure the building in question remains upright, structurally sound, and keeps its occupants protected from the elements. They exist to provide ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...
