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 ...

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 ...

In order to fully study the wind effects on the tracker structure, several phenomena such as wind fluctuation and turbulence must be considered. The fluctuation portion of wind loads is due to wind ...

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 ...

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 ...
