Scope of Symposium
The series of Workshops on Regional Harmonization of Wind Loading and Wind Environmental Specifications in Asia-Pacific Economies (APEC-WW) provide a stimulating and constructive forum for researchers and engineers specializing in problems of wind loading and wind environment. The purposes of APEC-WW are:
  • to harmonise structural loading standards/codes in the APEC area; and
  • to harmonise bylaws/specifications on wind environmental problems in the APEC area.
The past few years have seen a significant upsurge in typhoon activities worldwide. The devastations caused by Hurricanes such as Katrina in southern USA have highlighted the destructive power of typhoons and their global impacts. The 3rd APEC-WW aims
  • to reach a common understanding of wind loading;
  • to exchange information on current status of wind loading standards/codes and to improve individual standards;
  • to discuss bylaws/specifications for wind environmental assessment related to pedestrian level winds in an urban environment; and
  • to discuss bylaws/specifications for air quality outside and inside buildings.
