To study the interaction between bluff bodies and tornado-like flow, two rectangular prisms
of different depth to height ratios were tested in a two-celled tornado-like vortex generated …

The dense configuration and rapid proliferation of high-rise buildings in central Hong Kong
have led to increasing stagnation of pedestrian-level airflows, lowering the wind speed and …

The possibility of deformation and collision in existing railway bridge foundation structures
due to the construction of a group of large irregular structures in close proximity and their …

Wind tunnel studies are conducted to investigate the wind load effect of a representative
single-column-supported two-plate billboard structure. Firstly, synchronous pressure …

This paper presents a wind tunnel study of wind loads of the large billboard structures with
two-plate and three-plate configurations. Synchronous dynamic pressures on the surfaces of …

Increased temperature due to global climate change is increasing the magnitude and
frequency of extreme winds making billboard structures more vulnerable. This paper …

Full-scale field tests for a billboard sign are conducted at the Wind Science and Engineering
(WISE) field site to provide a benchmark for model scale tests performed in the wind tunnel …

Outdoor single-post billboards, which consist of a supporting steel column and two or three
billboard panels, are widely used in public places. However, wind-induced collapse of these …

Traffic sign boards are often blown away by strong winds, seriously endangering the safety
of vehicles and pedestrians. To increase their resistance to strong winds, sign boards are …

Tests were conducted at the Florida International University (FIU) Wall of Wind (WOW) to
investigate the susceptibility of Variable Message Signs (VMS) to wind induced vibrations …
