TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1976Description: 6p., 17 refs, 6 figsReport number: Institutional/Corporate BodySubject: During Cyclone Tracy a considerable number of low rise steel framed buildings were subjected to wind velocities significantly greater than those which had been assumed in their design. This type of building is sensitive to wind loads, but despite this their overall performance was good. Where structural failures did occur, instability of members under wind induced loads appeared to be the most common cause. This paper summarises the results of an investigation of the damage to steel framed buildings caused by Cyclone Tracy and discusses the implications for design

During Cyclone Tracy a considerable number of low rise steel framed buildings were subjected to wind velocities significantly greater than those which had been assumed in their design. This type of building is sensitive to wind loads, but despite this their overall performance was good. Where structural failures did occur, instability of members under wind induced loads appeared to be the most common cause. This paper summarises the results of an investigation of the damage to steel framed buildings caused by Cyclone Tracy and discusses the implications for design
