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 ...

Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) presents a promising approach to harness solar energy for both electricity generation and industrial heat applications, with the added advantage of providing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather conditions in mind for assets to resist damage and perform over the long term. Understanding fatigue loading and how wind can wear ...
