How to order
The Handbook was prepared by AWES to provide background information into wind and its actions, but also into the derivation of the Standard and its contents. It covers items such as:
- Nature of wind loading
- Wind speeds and multipliers
- Shape factors for structures
- Dynamic response
The Handbook will be launched with a day of lectures covering the contents of the book, held on 22 Feb 2012 at the University of Sydney. Please see the AWES15 section for more information. Attendees of the launch will be given a copy of the Handbook, which is included in the price of registration.
AWES is also now taking orders for the publication (Price: $95AUD per copy). Copies of the Handbook purchased prior to 22 Feb 2012 will be mailed out after the Handbook launch.

of wind engineering, and provide guidance on the successful design of structures
to counteract wind loading problems.

Go to topThe Quality Assurance Manual provides guidance to the practicing construction industry professional on the conduct of wind tunnel testing for buildings and structures. The Manual assists users in specifying wind tunnel tests and ensuring that basic testing requirements are met. Minimum requirements for wind tunnel testing in simulated boundary layers are clearly specified and commentary is provided on the basis of these minimum requirements. Although primarily intended for use within Australasia, the requirements and commentaries are internationally applicable.

A guide to the AS/NZS 1170.2 - Wind Actions has been written by John Holmes and Andrew King to provide guidance and examples for the application of the AS/NZS 1170.2:2002 Wind Actions standard.
"This design guide discusses the application of AS/NZS1170.2:2002 to structures of all types. As well as describing the background to the various sections of the standard, nine detailed examples are given to explain the correct application of the document in design situations." [Guide to AS/NZS1170.2:2002 - Wind Actions]
"The guide will be indispensable for structural engineers in both countries, and also be useful to building product manufacturers, architects, and building inspectors." [Guide to AS/NZS1170.2:2002 - Wind Actions]
