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 ...

Severe convective storms generate highly transient and spatially localised wind phenomena, notably downbursts and gust fronts, that impose extreme loads on built infrastructure. Unlike steady synoptic ...

Recently, there has been advancement in tall building design to achieve lighter structures, which led to an increase in the challenges that are related to wind resistance and cost efficiency. This ...

Scientists in South Africa have conducted full-scale research on the effect of wind load on PV panel mounting rails for more than 100 days. Compared to standard design codes, they found lower combined ...
