TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: AUG 1972Description: 35p., 11 refs, 8 figs, 3 tablesReport number: AcademicSubject: In the report on Cyclone Althea there is a description of the structural analysis of a typical dwelling for loads of the magnitude and direction which can be anticipated during a tropical cyclone of Althea's magnitude. This paper is designed to be complementary to this structural design section of the report. The discussion is centred on the philosophy of design for tropical cyclones rather than on the application of accepted techniques. The aim is to make the designer aware of the nature of the problem so that he might execute his professional responsibilities in as wise a manner as possible
