ESDU 88019 provides a step-by-step calculation method for the loading@ accelerations and deflections of buildings and plate-like structures. The loading is derived as the sum of a mean component together with background and resonant fluctuating components. Precalculated loading factors@ based on the wind models in the Series@ are included in graphical and equation form for estimation of the fluctuating components. Load/velocity admittance factors@ which make allowance for the distortion of turbulence by the presence of the structure@ are also included. The input data necessary are discussed and@ where appropriate@ approximate values are provided. A calculation sheet for the method is included and its use illustrated with a worked example. ESDU 92036 provides computer programs for this method@ and for the similar method applied to line-like structures in ESDU 87035.
