Shape optimization serves as a powerful tool to reduce wind effects on buildings. Past studies have demonstrated the superiority of the shape tailoring technique in aerod [...]

This paper describes the development of a new type of testing facility for simulating dynamic loads referred to as Dynamic Load Simulator (DLS). The DLS employs multiple [...]

The time-frequency character of wavelet transforms allows increased flexibility – as both traditional time and frequency domain system identification approaches can be [...]

This paper presents re-designed NatHaz Aerodynamic Loads Database (http://aerodata.ce.nd.edu) which has served as an important first step in establishing an on-line exper [...]

While high-rise construction serves as one of the most challenging projects undertaken by society each year, tall buildings are one of the few constructed facilities whos [...]

The non-stationarity and localization of energetics in the transient wind fields have posed difficulty in proper modeling and simulation of these events. Utilizing rece [...]

Modern buildings with low inherent damping become dynamically sensitive to wind actions, which potentially increase their acceleration levels under even moderate wind spe [...]

This study addresses recent developments on the evaluation of multimode coupled bridge response and modeling of equivalent static wind loading on bridges when subjected t [...]
