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, ...

The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

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 ...
