Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

The wind-induced response of structures has been a significant subject of engineering research over the past 40 years. Tall, slender buildings, chimneys, antenna towers, high-mast light standards, ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...

Wind consultancy firm RWDI, in collaboration with tracker system specialist Soltec, have developed a new method for comprehensive dynamic analysis in tracker wind-design to give the stability needed ...

Ensure that the pavilion canopy has high stiffness and global strength to withstand strong wind loads, yet minimize weight and provide for practical transport of the oversized structure to the ...

Prompt site assessment of wind damage from major storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes is a crucial step in determining the extent of property loss. The assessment of wind damage is important for ...
