Severe convective storms generate highly transient and spatially localised wind phenomena, notably downbursts and gust fronts, that impose extreme loads on built infrastructure. Unlike steady synoptic ...

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 ...

As offshore wind rises to meet ambitious climate goals, balancing the need for infrastructure with maintaining biodiversity has become a pressing challenge. One innovative, recent example is the ...

The roar builds as wind and rain lash against the walls of a low-rise South Florida home. Loose objects — chairs, a bicycle, a bird cage — lift into the air and disappear on a massive gust. The wind ...
