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 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 ...

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 ...

In recent years, China has witnessed the extensive construction of offshore wind farms. The safe running of offshore wind turbines in the northern sea is affected by intermittent floating ice and ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

Develop a longer wind turbine blade that will produce more power output without increasing blade weight, the load on the turbine or the costs for transportation to and assembly at the wind farm site.
