ABSTRACT: Philippine engineers are recently starting to focus on “typhoon engineering” in general and wind engineering in particular, as strong winds due to typhoons have been shown to have serious damaging effects. A brief discussion about the wind loading provisions in the NSCP 2001 (National Structural Code of the Philippines) is presented. A recent review of the the development of wind speed maps in the Philippines, from which much was learned, is summarized. Ideas for future activities and research related to wind engineering, including possible improvements in the NSCP wind loading provisions, are then suggested.
