Synopsis
Learn how tornado wind forces affect buildings and how venting and design choices can reduce damage.
This nonfiction guide explains the real science behind how pressure differences and pressure gradients interact with building envelopes. It compares different ways researchers measure wind forces and what those measures mean for safe construction. The text ties theory to practical building techniques that can help protect homes and structures in tornado-prone areas.
- See how pressure differentials and gradients influence structural loads
- Learn why venting and building design matter for tornado resistance
- Compare estimates, unofficial measurements, and official data from historical studies
- Understand the limits of data and how researchers interpret wind speeds and damage patterns
Ideal for readers interested in storm science, civil engineering, and practical tornado-resistant construction.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the destructive forces of tornadoes, exploring the crucial need for understanding these powerful natural phenomena to build more resilient structures. The author, a civil engineer, presents a comprehensive analysis of the available data on tornado forces, including wind velocities, barometric pressure, and pressure gradients. The book examines various methods for measuring these forces, including analyses of structural damage, ground marks, and motion pictures of tornadoes. The book's examination of the mechanics of tornadoes and the pressure differentials they create builds upon previous research, highlighting the urgent need for tornado-resistant building design. The author challenges the long-standing notion of tornadoes as irresistible forces, and presents data supporting the possibility of reducing damage through structural design and venting techniques. This book offers invaluable insights into the scientific understanding of tornadoes and their potential for destruction, while laying the groundwork for more effective strategies to protect human lives and property from these powerful storms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
