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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather ...

In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...
