Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to Prof. Lou Wenjuan, for reading this monograph and providing many valuable comments that improved the contents of this monograph, as well as for her constructive suggestion and comments through this research. I have enjoyed the camaraderie of the wind engineering research group at Zhejiang University: Prof. Xie Jiming, Prof. Chen Shuifu, Dr. Chen Yong, Dr. Shen Guohui, Dr. Yu Shice and Dr. Xu Haiwei. I have benefited much from each of them at various times and places: their insightful and critical comments and suggestions, their collaboration and assistance in research, as well as the enjoyable atmosphere built by them with heart and soul. I would also like to offer my sincerest thanks to professors in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology: Prof. Chan Chun-man, Prof. Kwok Kenny C.S. and Prof. Tse Tim K.T., for their cooperation and contribution to this research. It would be difficult to acknowledge everyone who has in some way or another contributed to the research reported in this book. During the past several years, I have received help and encouragement from many researchers and people in
