In a long-awaited, historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers recently issued a recommended alternative ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
