This paper is a review of past and current research on the subject of wind loads. Topics discussed are present wind load requirements, the determination of basic design wind velocities, the structure of natural winds, wind-tunnel studies, gusts andthe vibration of structures. Gives recommendations for basic design wind velocities, increase of wind velocity with height,and formulation of shape and gust coefficients. Includes bibliography of 270 references.
