State-of-the-art: research on wind-resistant design of light-weight steel structures

Light-weight steel structures become quite sensitive to wind load owing to light,thin and flexible main components and cladding components.Therefore the state-of-the-art and the related achievements on wind-resistant design of light-weight steel structures,both nationally and internationally,are systematically reviewed including wind-resistant load-carrying system,the mechanism of the wind-induced damage,the equivalent static wind load,the calculation of wind load,wind-resistant design of light-weight wall and roof system.Finally,the main existing problems and further researches are given out,which can provide references for research on wind-resistant design of light-weight steel structures.
