This book discusses performance-based seismic and wind-resistant design for high-rise building structures, with a particular focus on establishing an integrated approach for performance-based wind engineering, which is currently less advanced than seismic engineering.
M.F. Huang is currently Associate Professor of College of Civil Engineering and Architecture at Zhejiang University. He received his BSc in 1999 and MSc in 2002 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China and his PhD in 2008 from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His current research interests include wind engineering, performance-based engineering, structural optimization and probabilistic structural dynamics. Dr. Huang is serving as a member in the editorial board of The WIND AND STRUCTURES, An International Journal. He has been invited to be a peer reviewer for many international journals, including: Journal of Structural Engineering, Engineering Structures, Journal of Engineering Mechanics and Journal of Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, etc.
