Effect of Extreme Wind Loads on Struc  

Todays topic was about structures and its support system against cerain wind pressures in a specific region.

Trusses-

A framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts, supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.

I also learnt that before building a structure, based on the special wind regions the usage of regional climatic data and the consultation with a wind engineers and meterologists is always advised as it is there area of expertise.

The words Stress and Strain were repetedly said durind the lecture as it was a basis of wind wind effects. basically,strain is the representation of deformation while stress is the amount of pressure placed upon a structure or object until the energy exerted is grater that the object, for example, a balloon vs a 1lb barbell.
