The Arup Journal 1967 - Issue 2

This issue of the Arup Journal has a focus on wind - the fact, figures and fiction of wind; the nature of wind; and wind pressures on buildings. We also look at temporary stabling at Wellington Barracks in London.

Last updated: March 1967

The Minister of Public Building and Works decided that the picturesque but somewhat dilapidated Cavalry Barracks at Knightsbridge, which have stood guard on Hyde Park for close on a hundred years, needed to be completely rebuilt.

Whilst this exercise was undertaken, the need to re-house the cavalry on a temporary basis was required. In this first article of this issue of The Arup Journal we learn more about this undertaking.

Other articles in this issue include: The nature of wind; Wind pressures on buildings; Vibration, damping and dynamic loads; Wind tunnel tests - their uses and limitations; Wind on tall buildings - design procedure.
