Abstract: Super-large hyperbolic cooling towers (SCT) are typical cylinder-like structures and feature spatial, three-dimensional (3D), circumferential motion characteristics, wherein the non-Gaussian probability distribution ...

Abstract: In this study, the tallest cooling tower (228 m) completed construction in the world in northwest China was chosen to investigate wind-induced failure mechanism of superlarge cooling towers under tornado. A multiscale ...

Abstract: The world’s highest cooling tower (228 m), which is under construction in Northwest China, was chosen to study the response characteristics and collapse mechanism of a superlarge cooling tower under the downburst ...
