Abstract
Although forces induced by winds account for only about 15% of the total forces acting on most offshore structures during periods of intense wind, water wave and current excitation, it is useful to review many of the salient features of wind loadings for two reasons. First, there may be some structures for which the wind loadings dominate the loading pattern and second, many of the wind effects are also present in the case of surface water waves and thus a knowledge of the wind effects serve as a proper introduction to surface water wave excitation.
