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 ...

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 ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...
