Slender structures, such as towers, masis, high-rise buildings and bridges, are especially prone to wind excited vibrations. The lectures show how the susceptibility of a structure to wind excited vibrations can be assessed in early stages of design and what measures are effective for control or avoidance of vibrations. The book will be a help for all dealing with dynamic response of structures.
