I'm working on a housing development that may soon go up in Singapore. I'm designing a high rise residential development and was wondering how drastic the wind and rain conditions are? If anyone can help me out that would be great

Re: singapore conditions
Is this a windup? Surely a designer would be looking for more substantive sources of information than an expat board. You didn't design the bridge at Tacoma Narrows using the same research methods?arckid wrote:I'm working on a housing development that may soon go up in Singapore.

Re: singapore conditions
SE has a very valid point, if you really are working on a high rise you have to get the local engineers input on wind and other environmental loads on the structure etc. getting replies from the guys on the street like its kinda windy here not going to help.Strong Eagle wrote:Is this a windup?

I suppose there are no typhoons here. I have seen some really scary thin looking building going up here. I know they have passed all the engineers scrutiny, but from a buyers point of view I would like to stay in a building that at least looks stable!! call me old fashioned but the base of a building should look like a solid foundation rather than spindly columns. which is fine for radio towers, cutting edge exhibition spaces, but if was my house and my money... maybe I am a bit jaded, I have seen what goes on in the region.
Structural wind tunnel testing for high rise buildings, so you need to work with a structural engineer! This has got to be a wind up
