From the view of the construction engineer, some new knowledge of wind-induced vibrations in structures is imparted, where mention is made of the forced vibrations and the self-excited vibrations. The forced vibrations (periodic excitation by whirlwind or windward sided interference bodies as well as the aperiodic excitation by squally wind) are illustrated in the light of the results of own studies with mock ups and on actual structures. Finally, the modern methods of deter mining the inherent values for the structure (natural vibration and self damping) of original stuctures and measures to...
