Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this pv magazine Webinar, we will review fatigue loading from hurricane and high-wind events and their impact on solar trackers Single-axis solar trackers need to be designed with extreme weather ...
