Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) presents a promising approach to harness solar energy for both electricity generation and industrial heat applications, with the added advantage of providing ...

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 ...

Prompt site assessment of wind damage from major storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes is a crucial step in determining the extent of property loss. The assessment of wind damage is important for ...

To investigate the influence of wind direction on the fatigue of transmission tower-line systems, a joint probability distribution model for wind speed and direction was established based on 40-year ...
