Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of Super Typhoon Mangkhut on Hong Kong, especially the wind effects on high-rise buildings, based on 24-h-long field measurement records collected from the two tallest skyscrapers (484 ...

Abstract: Because of the growing vulnerability of coastal regions to tropical cyclone (TC), or typhoon and hurricane, hazards under climate variability, a thorough knowledge of TC wind characteristics and wind effects on high-rise ...

Abstract: The vast majority of current structural design codes and standards do not separately consider the wind and turbulence profiles for different storm types. Based on the 356-m-high Shenzhen Meteorological Gradient Tower, which ...

Abstract: There exist so many approaches to extract the time-varying mean (TVM) of nonstationary wind speeds under the nonstationary wind speed model, such as the wavelet transform and empirical model decomposition. These approaches ...

Abstract: Transmission lines (TLs) are vulnerable to wind actions. Notwithstanding the fact that the behavior of transmission lines under strong winds has been investigated in numerous studies, wind-induced failures of TLs are still ...
