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 ...

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, ...

Much about the aerodynamic effects of larger wind farms remains poorly understood. New work looks to provide more insight in how the structures necessary for wind farms affect air flow. Using a ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., December 12, 2019 -- Offshore wind power generation has become an increasingly promising source of renewable energy. Much about the aerodynamic effects of larger wind farms, however, ...

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 ...

The Tilt-Up Concrete Association is offering it, having decided to endorse ASCE/SEI 7-10, Minimum Design Loads of Buildings and Other Structures, as the standard for temporary bracing of tilt panels ...

Wind engineering pioneer Jon A. Peterka died May 21 in Fort Collins, Colo. Born on May 26, 1941, he was five days shy of his 78 th birthday. “The wind and structural engineering community has lost a ...
