Simulation of extreme temperature over Odisha during May 2015

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2017
An extreme temperature event (heat wave) over the state of Odisha was unique as it lasted for about 2 weeks in the 3rd and 4th weeks of May 2015. There was a similar severe heat wave in western and central Odisha in the month of April 1998.

A Comparative Study of Wind Tunnel Tests and Design Codes in Evaluation of Along-Wind Effects on Towers

Shock and Vibration, 2021
This study aims to estimate the wind loads acting on a tower structure by comparing and reviewing design codes and the results of wind tunnel tests. To this end, the modal properties of the tower were identified through short-term on-site measurements of
