Comparison of wind turbine tower failure modes under seismic and wind loads [PDF]
, 2019 This paper studies the structural responses and failure modes of a 1.5-MW horizontal-axis wind turbine under strong ground motions and wind loading. Ground motions were selected and scaled to match the two design response spectra given by the seismic ...

IMPAβ: Incremental Modal Pushover Analysis for Bridges
Applied Sciences, 2020 In the present study, the incremental modal pushover analysis (IMPA), a pushover-based approach already proposed and applied to buildings by the same authors, was revised and proposed for bridges (IMPAβ). Pushover analysis considers the effects of higher
