The paper presents the analysis of the wind action on tall buildings carried out in accordance with the recommendations of Eurocode 1, and with the results of own research conducted in the wind tunnel of the Wind Engineering Laboratory, Cracow University of Technology. Ten buildings of the same proportions were analyzed, five structures with the ratio of the cross-section dimensions of 1:2 and five of 1:4. The wind action on the longer side (N1) and on the shorter side (N2) were adopted in all cases of buildings. The total forces of wind pressure as well as displacements of top and bending moments at the base of the buildings were taken as the results which allowed to compare two different approaches.

The paper deals with the wind action on flat roofs of rectangular shapes which can be considered for medium-rise and high-rise buildings. Distributions of mean pressure coefficient Cp on flat roofs were measured. All analyses were based on model measurements which had been performed in the boundary layer wind tunnel in Wind Engineering Laboratory of Cracow University of Technology. Vertical, fixed in the floor of the wind tunnel on the turn table rectangular prisms of the ratio of cross-section dimensions 1:2 and 1:4 were investigated. Measurements were carried out for the angle of wind attack in the range 0°-90°, every 15°. The influence of the wind structure on pressures was investigated in six different cases of the approaching wind.

The paper summarizes the results of wind tunnel tests of a wind action on a high-rise building design in Warsaw. Measurements were accomplished in Wind Engineering Laboratory of Cracow University of Technology. Wind pressures on external surfaces of the building model were acquired. A study of the character of the wind action on a tower of the building was the main aim of the paper. A triangle shape with rounded corners of the cross section of the tower and a complex group of neighbor buildings support aerodynamic analysis in a wind tunnel. Wind pressure coefficients on the external building surfaces and the global horizontal wind action on the building tower on full scale were analyzed.

The paper summarizes the results of wind tunnel tests of the influence of aerodynamic interference on wind action of a high-rise building design in Warsaw. Measurements were accomplished in Wind Engineering Laboratory of Cracow University of Technology. Wind pressures on external surfaces of the building model were acquired in two different situations. Firstly, only the building model was placed in the tunnel working section, secondly, the building model with the nearest surroundings was taken under consideration. A study of the character of wind action differences caused by the nearest surroundings of the building was the main aim of the paper. Wind pressure coefficients on the external building surfaces and the difference of horizontal wind action on full scale were compared.

Due to the increasing of wind disaster, structural wind engineering arouses more and more attention recently, with rapid development on spatial structure and continuous innovation of structural style. The main purpose of structural wind engineering is to calculate the wind pressure coefficients of structure. In this paper, the numerical wind tunnel method (NWTM), based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), is applied to study wind load. The wind pressure coefficients of reticulated spherical shell with the 4.6m high wall were first determined, using the NWTM. The results are then compared with the wind tunnel test (WTT) and good agreement is found. The feasibility and reliability of NWTM were then verified. As the second example, NWTM is carried out to predict wind-induced pressure on reticulated spherical shell without wall. Further the distribution behavior of wind pressures on this kind of structures is discussed which could provide professionals the reference for the design of structure.

In SP 63.13330 the general calculation case for the diagram method is oblique off-center compression, which takes into account only three components of internal force factors in the cross section: the longitudinal force-Nz – and two bending moments relative to the corresponding axes – Mx and My. The other three components-the QX and Qy transfer forces and the MZ torque – are left out of consideration. In addition, for this case, the search in the available literature, including the founders of the diagram method, for the output of calculation formulas was not successful – in all sources they are given in ready-made form without evidence. This article is intended to try to fill in these gaps. For this purpose, based on the expressions for rod displacements that are generally accepted in mechanics, in particular on the Mora integral of displacements, the resolving expressions of the diagram method are obtained in the most general form.

The problem of complex bend of multilayered rods based on concrete is considered. It is assumed that the rod of constant cross-section is of arbitrary shape and different brands of concrete are used in the cross-section of the rod layer by layer. The solution is sought by the small parameter method. The case of a complex bend of the rod pinched at both ends is considered as an example of this solution method. The distribution of bending moments and longitudinal forces in the zero and first approximations is determined.

Load-lateral deflection curves are developed for a pressurized tube of circular cross section under combined bending and compression. The tube walls are assumed to have negligible compressive strength so that wrinkling develops if the stress tends to become negative. It is found that for a given bending moment, the load increases monotonically with deflection until a maximum is reached beyond which the load decreases with increasing deflection. An interaction curve of the maximum load versus bending moment shows that the presence of only a small amount of bending significantly decreases the maximum compressive load below the classical Euler load. Conversely, for bending moments which produce almost complete wrinkling of the cross section, only very small amounts of compressive load can be supported.

In this work, the problem of bending of a multilayered concrete beam of arbitrary cross-section by explosive loading on a visco-elastic basis is considered. It is assumed that different grades of concrete can be realized in layers in the cross-section. The property of concrete resistance to tension and compression is considered in work. It is assumed that the dynamic loading is caused by consecutive explosion of two charges over the middle of the span of beam. The distribution of bending moments and deflections of the beam at each time is determined. The time of the end of motion and the residual deflection of beam are found.
