DESCRIPTION:A multidisciplinary approach rooted in structural engineering\
 , fluid\, and structural dynamics\, turbulence\, stochastic modeling\, com
 putational and experimental methods\, and micrometeorology is needed to ad
 dress the challenges we face concerning wind effects on structures. Notwit
 hstanding the developments made in recent decades in this area\, which hav
 e indeed enhanced our abilities to better understand and capture the effec
 ts of turbulent winds on structures\, we are at an appropriate juncture to
  identify the need for embarking on different physical and computational m
 odeling philosophies and paradigms to meet the emerging challenges. A gene
 ral overview of the basic techniques for quantification of wind loads and 
 their effects using analytical\, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and mo
 del-based and data-driven simulation schemes\, code and standards-based pr
 ocedures\, and experimental and full-scale monitoring and their hybrid com
 bination and a synopsis of the emerging frontiers will be presented. Recen
 t advances in analysis\, optimization\, modeling\, simulation\, and identi
 fication tools\, modeling frameworks\, data analytics\, the fusion of mach
 ine learning\, stochastics and CFD and beyond\, and cyberinfrastructure en
 abled platforms hold the promise of offering better understanding in solvi
 ng these complex problems. The seminar will provide a guided tour of the s
 tate-of-the-art and the next frontiers in the wind effects through the eye
  of a cyberinfrastructure enabled platform\n
