Abstract
Deficiencies in methods of analysis for structures subjected to wind forces are considered. Areas of similarity between wind and seismic forces and their treatment by current building codes are discussed. Deficiencies include a neglect of the dynamic nature of the wind problem, a lack of basic information, and an inadequate definition of acceptable levels of risk.
