Toward the Codification of Thunderstorm/Downburst Winds
Abstract Non-synoptic winds often exhibit rapid changes during a short period, which may be accompanied by changes in direction. This introduces non-stationarity both in the mean and the standard deviation of wind fluctuations. Thus, design loads in non-synoptic non-stationary winds obtained from conventional analysis frameworks included

A Simplified Design Charts for the Vertical Profile of Horizontal Downburst Wind Speeds
Most design specifications and codes for transmission line structures use the atmospheric synoptic wind as the basis of wind loading design parameters. However, many recent reports on failures of transmission line systems in several regions around world ...

A slice of research pertinent to the analytical or empirical models of downburst winds was available, but the current validation was usually based on sampled wind velocities at several typical positions in the experimental measurements rather than the ...

Loading of a very tall building in a simulated downburst wind field
Thunderstorm downbursts are important for wind engineers as they have been shown to produce the design wind speeds for mid to high return periods in many regions of Australia [1]. In structural design codes (e.g. AS/NZS1170.02-02) an atmospheric boundary

An analytical downburst model and its application to a moving train wind loading [PDF]
For the first time, a simple analytical model of a downburst has been developed that correctly reproduces the shape of the radial velocity close to the ground, i.e., in a region applicable to trains and low-rise buildings.

Multi-Scale Failure Analysis of Transmission Towers Under Downburst Loading
Collapse of transmission towers due to downbursts is often initiated by local failure of key structural members, while the local failure of key structural members is related to local material and geometrical nonlinearities.
