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 ...
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 ...

Why ASCE 7-16 matters for safer buildings
ASCE 7-16 sets the benchmark for how engineers calculate wind, seismic, and other critical loads to keep buildings safe. It’s the standard referenced by most U.S. building codes and regularly updated ...
From a distance, a downburst can look like a torrent of heavy rain. But at ground level, its behavior can be far more destructive. When a downburst’s winds hit the ground, they shoot out horizontally ...
Wind load is a critical challenge for both PV modules and trackers – with real consequences for project bankability. In this webinar we will examine how a system-level approach to load testing can ...
A research team in China has developed an optimized energy management strategy for hybrid wind–PV heat pump (HP) systems. Their approach combines thermal and electrical energy storage with a seasonal ...
