by Jon A. Peterka, Colorado State Univ, Fort Collins, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability

Abstract:

A study of design level extreme wind speeds showed that sampling errors were the primary cause of station to station variability. A method for decreasing sampling errors in design wind specifications was successfully explored.
