NIST Technical Note 1665: Database-Assisted Design of High-Rise Reinforced Concrete Structures for Wind: Concepts Software, and Application

Time-domain analyses of wind effects on high-rise structures have been made possible in recent years by advances in wind pressure measurement and computer technology. Time domain solutions not only provide full phase information on structural responses to wind but can also account naturally for modes of vibration of any shape, including any number of higher modes of vibration, as well as for mode coupling.
