Dr. Graeme Wood, Director
Graeme Wood, PhD, is a founding director of CPP's Sydney office.
Graeme was educated at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to joining CPP, he was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney.
Over the last 10 years he has conducted numerous consultancy and research projects spanning many areas of wind engineering. His research areas include the distribution of wind loads on large span structures, full-scale dynamic measurements and wind induced dynamic response of tall buildings, thunderstorm winds, and development of wind turbines. Graeme has performed consultancy services throughout Australasia, Asia, and the Middle East. He has completed model tests for pedestrian level wind environments, cladding pressures, base balance, aeroelastic, and snow drift modelling. Full-scale tests include the measurement of wind speed behind aircraft and helicopters, air flows in airport terminals, and dynamic measurements of over 50 architectural spires and tall buildings up to 300m. Commercial large roof projects include Stadium Australia, Sydney SuperDome, the Dunc Gray Velodrome for the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Zhengzhou International Conference Centre, and Sydney Cricket Ground.
Graeme is a Member of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, Treasurer of the Australasian Wind Engineering Society, sits on the Standards Australia committee for structural wind actions, and is a member of the organizing committee for the 2007 International Conference on Wind Engineering.
