Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...
High-rise buildings are often tapered at their peaks due to wind load reduction considerations. Without effective aerodynamic optimizations, high-rise buildings exhibit low natural frequency and ...
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 ...
Load demand forecasting is essential for the management of autonomous power systems. Forecasts are required for the optimal scheduling of power units for the next 2-48 hours depending on the power ...
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, ...
