Abstract: Wind-induced loads cause electrical transmission line fatigue. Evaluation procedures consider descriptors such as deflection amplitude (Yb) and far-field vibration (fymax), which cannot relate endurance limits ...

Abstract: Using seismic isolation systems for highway bridges modifies the structure’s principal vibration modes, effectively reducing the seismic base shear conveyed from the superstructure to the substructure. However, ...

The response of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) structures under wind loading has to be carefully predicted to optimize the design of these structures. Designers normally rely on wind tunnel tests and equivalent static ...
