Abstract :
[en] This document serves as an extension of the keynote presentation delivered in Florence during the 16th International Conference on Wind Engineering. It elucidates the objectives and reviews the challenges related to two pivotal issues at the juncture of wind and structural engineering: (i) the computation of Equivalent Static Wind Loads and (ii) the reconstruction of the envelope of structural responses. Various existing techniques are examined in this paper, accompanied by practical insights drawn from a simple academic example, accessible as supplementary material. Additionally, the notion of Aerodynamic-Structural Complexity is introduced as a pertinent indicator, effectively capturing the intertwined intricacies of both wind aerodynamics and structural behavior.

This paper owes its existence to two crucial elements: the gracious invitation extended by the organizing team of ICWE, especially Professors C. Mannini and G. Bartoli, who engaged in insightful discussions, and the invaluable collaboration I shared with Dr. N. Blaise during his doctoral research several years ago.
