As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

ABSTRACT The analytical formulae are proposed to estimate the maximum value for along-wind load and across-wind load on the wind turbine towers by using the quasi-steady analysis. The critical ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...

Within electricity grid networks it is conventional for large-scale central generators to both provide power and control grid node voltage. Therefore when wind turbines replace conventional 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, ...
