As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

Wind Engineering, Vol. 41, No. 5 (October 2017), pp. 330-342 (13 pages) Abstract This work concentrates on the integration of superconducting magnetic energy storage system with wind-penetrated ...

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 ...

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the ...

Installing hurricane-impact windows is a critical investment in protecting your home from storms while improving its energy efficiency and boosting its value. Impact windows are specifically designed ...

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 ...

Offshore wind turbines, particularly floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), operate in highly dynamic and often severe marine environments where extreme loads induced by wind, waves and currents can ...

The American Society of Civil Engineers has decided that emergency changes to wind-load provisions in ASCE's 2010 building design standard are not needed. ASCE recently reviewed the provisions, ...
