More than 5 years have elapsed since the first edition of Wind Loading of Structures was published. In that time, the need for good design of structures against the effects of wind has become even more obvious, with the great increase in destructive wind storms that have affected many parts of the world. In particular, this was emphasized by the unprecedented two successive hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005 on the southern coastline of the United States. Although the original chapter topics of the first edition of the book have remained unchanged, there have been changes to nearly every chapter and appendix. The importance of strong winds generated by thunderstorms has become more recognized by wind engineering researchers in the last 5 years, and Chapters 1 and 3 have been expanded with new material on the structure of tornadoes and downbursts. Chapter 5 also includes a new section on the transient dynamic response to winds of this type. In Chapter 7, the laboratory simulation of tornadoes is discussed; although pioneer work in this area was carried out in the 1960s and 1970s, this was not included in the first edition. Chapter 7 has also been expanded with a new section on the simulation of internal pressures in a wind tunnel.
