Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019 Transmission line structures, though designed per code provisions, have suffered several failures worldwide in the past. As reported in the body of the available literature, more than 80% of those failures are due to severe localized wind events such as ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Microphysical characteristics of warm‐rain precipitation that occurred in Fuzhou region during warm seasons of 2022 and 2023 have been investigated by using polarimetric radar data. Results of a modified warm‐rain identification algorithm indicate positive ZDR variation in the liquid layer should be added as a criterion to prevent events ...

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Double‐layer truss bridges are widely used in long‐span crossings due to their high load‐carrying capacity and structural efficiency. However, their complex truss configurations significantly alter the wind field around the deck, posing potential challenges to driving safety and comfort.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.Abstract Longitudinal Lx $\left({L}_{x}\right)$ and lateral Ly $\left({L}_{y}\right)$ integral length scales describe the characteristic horizontal structure of energy‐containing turbulent structures in a flow. The ratio Lx/Ly ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y}$ describes the anisotropy of the structures where Lx/Ly>1 ${L}_{x}/{L}_{y} > 1$ indicates structures elongated

Wind Loads on Transmission Line Structures in Simulated Downbursts [PDF]
, 2006 Downbursts pose a recognized threat to transmission line networks in South-east Queensland, and many other regions around the world. However, when assessing the structural adequacy of transmission line structures, design codes assume that an atmospheric ...

The impact of catastrophic forest blowdown on large wood loads in headwater streams
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.Catastrophic forest blowdown across parts of southeastern Australia in June 2021 substantially increased large wood loads in headwater streams, delivering 88% of the measured wood volume. Wood loads did not correlate to blowdown density but instead were significantly influenced by valley morphology, such that wider valley bottoms had higher wood loads.

Predicting small-scale, short-lived downbursts : case study with the NWP limited-area ALARO model for the Pukkelpop thunderstorm [PDF]
, 2015 The authors consider a thunderstorm event in 2011 during a music festival in Belgium that produced a short-lived downburst of a diameter of less than 100 m.
