This paper reviews domestic activities in the wind engineering field in Taiwan for the past nine-year period from 2012 to 2021, including activities of the Taiwan Association for Wind Engineering (TAWE), the Chinese Institute of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering (CICHE), and other related organizations. Among these activities, the activity of code revision is the main theme held by TAWE. Wind researchers and engineers were called to form seven working groups responsible for different revision targets. Besides the code revision, workshops have been regularly held every year to promote wind engineering education not only for students but also for engineers, together with several publications on theories or practices. Among these working groups, a complementary comparison work for the evaluation of pedestrian level winds is also attached to this paper in the appendix. Although still under discussion, a first national standard for offshore wind turbines in Taiwan is attempted to announce in the coming year. Taiwan’s wind engineering society has provided professional advice to help the standard in a sound status and consistent with the current wind code for buildings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
