The non-stationary properties of wind velocity fluctuations were investigated with the information entropy of wavelet coefficients. Many time histories of wind fluctuations were artificially generated and the gust response analyses in time domain were carried out using these data. The relationship between the peak factor and the entropy of the wavelet coefficients showed that the non-stationary wind fluctuations, whose frequencies were nearly equal to the natural frequency of the structure, tended to enlarge the peak factor.
