The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

Severe convective storms generate highly transient and spatially localised wind phenomena, notably downbursts and gust fronts, that impose extreme loads on built infrastructure. Unlike steady synoptic ...

Comprehensive testing at every stage has been vital to the solar industry’s impressive growth to date – investors, insurers, and other project stakeholders all need some assurance that this still ...

Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...

Offshore wind turbines consist of numerous welded components and are exposed to extreme loads from wind and waves at sea.

Higher noise emissions, higher wind loads and a desire for greater energy efficiency – the structural requirements for façades in multi-storey residential buildings and skyscrapers are becoming ...
