Fatigue Load Estimation through a Simple Stochastic Model
Energies, 2014 We propose a procedure to estimate the fatigue loads on wind turbines, based on a recent framework used for reconstructing data series of stochastic properties measured at wind turbines. Through a standard fatigue analysis, we show that it is possible to

Structural Improvements for Tall Buildings under Wind Loads: Comparative Study
, 2017 The behavior of a very slender building is investigated under wind loads, to satisfy both strength and serviceability (comfort) design criteria. To evaluate the wind effects, wind tunnel testing and structural analysis were conducted, by two different ...

An efficient approach to the determination of Equivalent Static Wind Loads
, 2017 In this paper, a novel approach to the determination of Equivalent Static Wind Loads is presented. The envelope of the effects on the structure, representing the design load for each structural member and obtained by means of a complete buffeting ...

Estimation of wind loads on a tall building by an inverse method
, 2017 Many engineering applications require the knowledge of wind loads on structures. However, it is difficult or even impossible to measure these excitation forces from prototype structures directly.

Analytical investigation of wind loads on heliostats
Revue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2016 Applications of Heliostats for solar power tower plants increased in the recent years. Most of the solar power tower plants installed are on flat terrain and they may be subjected to wind loads.

Wind Structure and Wind Loading
, 2007 The purpose of this note is to provide a short description of wind, i.e. of the flow in the atmosphere of the Earth and the loading caused by wind on structures. The description comprises:causes to the generation of windhe interaction between wind and the surface of the Earthhe stochastic nature of windhe interaction between wind and structures, where ...
