Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

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 ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported on Sept. 17 that it has done additional analysis of the wind "loads" that the World Trade Center (WTC) towers were originally ...

Prompt site assessment of wind damage from major storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes is a crucial step in determining the extent of property loss. The assessment of wind damage is important for ...

The computation of flight and ground loads acting on the aircraft structure is one of the main tasks in the design and certification process of an aircraft. The term loads comprises all steady and ...

The Load Analysis and Aeroelastic Design department deals with issues that arise in the design of aircraft with regard to aeroelastic properties and aeroelastic requirements. Furthermore, developments ...
