Installing hurricane-impact windows is a critical investment in protecting your home from storms while improving its energy efficiency and boosting its value. Impact windows are specifically designed ...

“This cycle continues and worsens until it is addressed during maintenance by retorquing the bolts to reapply enough compression to the yaw bearing. Eventually, the components wear and fatigue to the ...

Cooling towers play a vital role in industrial processes and power generation by dissipating waste heat into the atmosphere. Their unique hyperbolic geometries are designed not only to maximise heat ...

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 new product is made with AL6005-T5 aluminum combined with galvanized aluminum-zinc and offers three load-bearing options. It can reportedly be utilized in concrete roofs, flat grounds and membrane ...

A group of researchers from South Africa has conducted a full-scale field measurement of the wind load effects on the mounting rail of a PV single-axis tracker. The data was collected over 109 days in ...

Over the past century, global temperatures have steadily risen due to greenhouse gas emissions, prompting an urgent shift toward renewable energy. While solar power has grown rapidly, wind energy ...

Fatal collapse of the stage at the Indiana State Fair in 2011 ignited interest in the safety of public-occupancy outdoor-event structures, which in many cases are not engineered to resist ...

A configuration of a self-excited induction generator supplying DC loads with constant voltage through a diode bridge rectifier and a buck-type DC–DC converter is proposed. The rectifier input current ...

The software update is meant to seamlessly overcome wind, hills, and heavy loads. It’s available today for all C4 and C4ST electric bikes. The software update is meant to seamlessly overcome wind, ...
