wind engineering

Wind engineering is a field that studies how wind interacts with buildings, bridges, and other structures. It involves understanding the forces and effects of wind to ensure designs can withstand strong winds and avoid damage. This discipline combines principles of physics, meteorology, and structural engineering to create safe and efficient structures, considering factors like wind speed, direction, and turbulence. By predicting potential wind impacts, engineers can enhance safety, improve comfort, and reduce maintenance costs for structures in windy environments.
