The results are used to understand the response of guyed transmission line systems to boundary layer wind loads.
The results indicate that the multiple-span guyed transmission line system aeroelastic model responded in a quasi-static manner to boundary layer wind loads.
This paper describes a study of boundary-layer wind loads on parallel walls, used as noise barriers on freeways and motorways.
The measured data are analyzed to obtain the information on boundary layer wind characteristics, wind pressures and wind loads on the solar collector.
Displacements and accelerations of the aeroelastic model of the tower with and without lines under various wind speeds were investigated through boundary layer wind tunnel tests, and the maximum wind loads on, and wind-induced destroyed mode of, the tower-line model were also observed.
The present study investigates the inelastic response of a self-supported lattice transmission tower under different wind events, including traditional atmospheric boundary layer wind (ABL) and downburst wind, and for wind loading at different directions relative to the tower.
Wind loads used for loading effects estimation were obtained based on wind pressures measured from a 1 400 scaled roof model under a boundary layer wind flow configuration.
In this paper the results of experimental tests in a boundary layer wind tunnel aimed at direct comparison of the two main methods used to estimate the wind loads acting on tall buildings are presented.
In addition, wind-induced torsional loads on low buildings have been measured in a boundary layer wind tunnel.
Raj et al. (2013) carried out an experimental boundary layer wind tunnel study to observe the effect of base shear, base moment and twisting moment developed due to wind load on a rigid building model having the same floor area, but different cross-sectional shapes with the variation of wind incidence angle.
