AbstractRecent wind events in Australia and overseas have caused catastrophic results in those affected areas, with deaths being reported as well as widespread destruction. Research and information gathered from these events have been incorporated into the latest edition of AS/NZS 1170.2-2011 to now represent a more realistic determination of wind actions. The Standard applies to structures ranging from 'the less sensitive to wind action to those for which dynamic response must be taken into consideration'. This handbook was prepared by the AWES to provide background information into wind and its actions, but also into the derivation of the Standard and its contents.
