Wind load is a critical challenge for both PV modules and trackers – with real consequences for project bankability. In this webinar we will examine how a system-level approach to load testing can ...

As temperatures rise and another summer begins, it's important to reflect on the unpredictable weather Mother Nature can deliver at a moment's notice. This message is especially critical for standby ...

A new method provides a more realistic description of loads on large-scale wind turbines than was previously possible. A team ...

Scientists from the University of Oldenburg, in collaboration with engineering and manufacturing partners, have developed a more precise model to predict the mechanical forces acting on wind turbine ...

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 ...

With extreme weather events becoming all too common, and a growing list of PV projects that have been damaged or destroyed by strong winds, ensuring that mounting structures are able to withstand the ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...

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 ...
