PERBACCO (a free Italian acronym for Life-cycle Performance, Innovation and Design Criteria for Structures and Infrastructures Facing Æolian and Other Natural Hazards) is a research project partly funded by the Italian Ministry for University (MIUR) in the PRIN (Progetti di Ricerca di Interesse Nazionale) framework, for the years 2004-05.Within the project, a first attempt has been made to integrate different disciplines aiming at an overall optimization of the performance of a wide range of wind exposed structures and infrastructures, with consequent benefi cial impact on the society. The overall objectives were (a) to provide unifi ed concepts for "expected performance" and "risks induced by æolian and other natural hazards", to be applied to structures and infrastructures over their whole life-cycle, such to be acceptable to stakeholders in the construction process (i.e. from the owner to the end-user), (b) to provide models and methodologies for dynamic monitoring of the performance of structures and infrastructures, to be integrated in appropriately designed procedures, and (c) to collect, refi ne, fi le and disseminate the knowledge available on a European basis, concerning the performance of wind-exposed structures and facilities, in a way such to be of use to Construction Industry. This volume summarises the main results obtained during the Project, with each Section addressing a different class of problems, to which many research Units have contributed. A list of papers containing the main results of the research activities carried out within the Project is also provided in each Section.

The new multidisciplinary study area of Wind Engineering was born as a response to the needs of design and construction for increasingly daring infrastructures: lighter materials and dimensions have made many projects very sensitive to the action of wind and therefore it is now necessary to study the applied fluid-dynamics, aero-dynamics of bodies and aero-elastics also for the civil engineering sector. The volume is a first attempt at an organic and complete collection of notions at the advanced university course level (including Masters and Doctorates), but it also intends to offer important help to those professionals whose activity is carried out in the design, management and development of works of large dimensions that are sensitive to the action of wind.
