Fragility analysis of a long-span transmission tower–line system under wind loads
, 2020Numerous transmission towers have collapsed due to experiencing strong winds; therefore, the purpose of this article is to investigate the collapse mechanism and the anti-collapse performance of a long-span transmission tower–line system.

Although forces induced by winds account for only about 15% of the total forces acting on most offshore structures during periods of intense wind, water wave and current excitation, it is useful to review many of the salient features of wind loadings for two reasons.

This helpful guide focuses on the wind load provisions of Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10 , that affect the planning, design, and construction of buildings for residential and commercial purposes. The 2010 revision of the Standard significantly reorganized the wind load provisions, expanding them from ...

Bridges are facilities that are in exploitation outdoor. Often the wind is the leading horizontal force in the transverse direction. Therefore the bridges have received the due attention in the standards for wind loading. Unfortunately, in all available standards for wind load on the bridges, one, summarized value of the aerodynamic coefficient is ...

Wind loads on wind permeable facades
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1994Abstract This paper presents results of a fundamental, experimental study on wind loading of porous facade systems. The important parameters — relative building dimensions, porosity, and gap width — have been varied systematically in a model scale study. Both time averaged and fluctuating pressures have been measured.

???Second wind??? during inspiratory loading
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1984Five human volunteers breathed through an inspiratory register to achieve a transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) of 42-45% of the maximum, until fatigue. During the period of resistive breathing all subjects experienced at least one episode of a sudden feeling of relaxation and relief from dyspnea, i.e., "second wind." These episodes were accompanied by a

Wind loads on wind-permeable building facades
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1983Abstract This paper describes some significant results of a comprehensive study of wind loads on wind-permeable facades of low-rise buildings. The investigation was undertaken to provide wind load information for the design of elements of wind-permeable facades and the design of their fixation to the wind-impermeable building walls.

Abstract A wind-tunnel study has been carried out to assess wind loads on parapets of two buildings. Local pressure coefficients were measured on models with a length to height ratio ( L / H ) of 1:1 and 2:1. Most of the results were obtained for full-scale equivalent parapet heights of 1 and 2 m and for wind directions of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°
