Le vent a des effets importants sur chacun de ces aspects de la construction [...] On décrira brièvement dans le présent Digeste la cause et la structure du vent et on expliquera comment cette structure complique la détermination d'une vitesse de vent raisonnable pour les calculs. Par contre, on ne décrira pas les mouvements détaillés du vent qui souffle sur les maisons.  2, record 1, French, - structure%20du%20vent
