The objective of this work is to evaluate the wind stresses in hyperbolic cooling towers. These non-symmetrical efforts are of the utmost importance, as they usually govern the design of such structures. The main loading case for natural projects of reinforced concrete cooling towers is produced by forces from the wind, except in cases where forces generated by the action of earthquakes are considered.
