Accurate simulation of overhead transmission towers under extreme wind loads is
complicated due to the eccentrically connected angle section members. First, a full-scale …

This paper deals with a limit load assessment and preliminary experimental testing of a
lattice-type steel tower used to support a newly designed, prototype small wind turbine …

Lattice towers are used in several fields such as radio and television broadcasting, wireless
communication or mobile networking. These are lightweight structures which are used to …

Many transmission towers have collapsed under typhoons in recent years, mainly due to the
unclear behaviors of their structural properties, introducing many deficiencies in the design …

This paper deals with the fatigue damage of the welded cantilever under a high-speed train
subjected to wind-induced loading using a field test campaign and a CFD (Computational …

This study investigates the spatial coherence function of wind loads on the lattice frame
structure through a simultaneous double high frequency force balance (HFFB) wind tunnel …

This paper presents the results of an operational modal analysis on a self-supporting
antenna mast. The structure is instrumented with seismic accelerometers, which are moved …

Appropriate design wind loads can effectively avoid damage to transmission towers under
strong wind and the wind-induced vibration coefficient β (z) is a critical parameter for …

The optimization of the installation process of offshore wind farms passes through a detailed
planning of the activities with careful evaluation of the risks and consequences of a failure …

The loading and response of structures due to gust buffeting is a dominant topic of wind
engineering. One of its crucial aspects is the shape of vibration modes. Although numeric …
