Wind Engineering: Institute of Civil Engineering

This document summarizes research on structural wind engineering conducted at the Institute of Civil Engineering at the University of the Philippines Diliman. It discusses two types of research on structural responses to strong winds: field surveys of actual damage from typhoons and numerical simulations. Field surveys found various failures in building envelopes, roofs, and interiors from Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. Numerical simulations allow studying wind loads on structures through methods like wind tunnel experiments, scaled physical testing, and computational fluid dynamics. More research is needed to better understand wind forces and design typhoon-resistant structures.

“ We thought the buildings
were designed for very
strong typhoons, but they
were destroyed by Nina. I
think there’s a problem with
the design. - LENI ROBREDO, 2017
