Directional analysis of extreme winds under mixed climate conditions

Author: Kruger, A ; Goliger, Adam M ; Retief, J Date: Jul 2013 Directional statistics provide design engineers with the opportunity to realise considerable cost savings, but these are not yet provided for in the South African standard for wind loading. The development of the directional statistics of ... Read more
Estimation of extreme wind speeds in the mixed strong wind climate of South Africa

Author: Kruger, AC ; Goliger, Adam M ; Retief, JV ; Sekele, SS Date: Aug 2010 The South African Weather Service, with the support of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the University of Stellenbosch, is in the process of updating the extreme surface wind statistics for South Africa. A previous ... Read more
Identification of zones of strong wind events in South Africa

Author: Goliger, Adam M ; Retief, RV Date: Nov 2002 This paper summarises the initial stage of development of a wind damage/disaster risk model for South Africa. The aim is to identify the generic zones of various types of strong wind events. The extent of these zones will form the basis for ... Read more
Proposed new South African loading code SANS 10160

Author: Dunaiski, PE ; Retief, JV ; Goliger, Adam M Date: Nov 2006 The South African National Conference on Loading was convened by the South African Institution of Civil Engineering in 1998 to deliberate on the future of the South African loading code. During this loading code conference the decision was ... Read more
Representivity of wind measurements for design wind speed estimations

Author: Goliger, Adam M ; Kruger, A ; Retief, J Date: Jul 2013 The siting of wind measurement infrastructure has implications on the development of wind speed statistics for the design of the built environment. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) wind measurement network is considered to be typical ... Read more
Review of worldwide occurrence of tornadoes

Author: Goliger, Adam M ; Milford, RV Date: 1998 The objective of the present study was to re-visit and up-date data on tornado occurrences throughout the world. This was carried out by accessing the relevant literature, analysing, re-analysing and comparing the data on tornado occurrence ... Read more
Severe wind phenomena in Southern Africa and the related damage

Author: Goliger, Adam M ; Retief, JV Date: Oct 2007 This paper presents a review of the types and magnitude of strong and extreme wind events that develop over the southern portion of the African continent. The origin of such events is given, together with selected statistics and examples of ... Read more
South African wind loading specifications: the Euro way?

Author: Goliger, Adam M Date: Oct 2007 This paper is a review of the development process of a new set of wind loading stipulations to be included in the proposed South African design standard for buildings and structures. A summary of activities that have taken place within the ... Read more
Strong wind climatic zones in South Africa

Author: Kruger, AC ; Goliger, Adam M ; Retief, JV ; Sekele, S Date: Jan 2010 In this paper South Africa is divided into strong wind climate zones, which indicate the main sources of annual maximum wind gusts. By the analysis of wind gust data of 94 weather stations, which had continuous climate time series of 10 years ... Read more
Strong winds in South Africa, part 1: application of estimation methods

Author: Kruger, A ; Retief, J ; Goliger, Adam M Date: Aug 2013 The accurate estimation of strong winds is of cardinal importance to the built environment, particularly in South Africa, where wind loading represents the dominant environmental action to be considered in the design of structures. While the ... Read more
Strong winds in South Africa, part 2: mapping of updated statistics

Author: Kruger, AC ; Retief, JV ; Goliger, Adam M Date: Aug 2013 Although wind is the most important environmental action on buildings and structures in South Africa, the last comprehensive strong wind analysis was conducted in 1985. The current wind loading code is still based on the strong wind quantiles ... Read more
Tornado risk model for transmission line design

Author: Milford, RV ; Goliger, Adam M Date: Nov 1997 A tornado risk model for transmission line design has been developed. The risk model is based on the McDonald model for point structures and has been developed such that it can be simplified for applications in codes of practice and design ... Read more
