Climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing building regulations, particularly concerning wind loads on structures. As climate patterns shift, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, including storms and high winds, are projected to increase, necessitating a reevaluation of existing building codes and standards. One significant aspect of this issue is... Continue Reading →
Vortex induced at High Rise Building
Wind load on high rise building are very complex, because of many aspects can effects the phenomenon. For instance: shape of the building, terrain around the building, vortex shedding, pressure fluctuation, etc. Wind flow around the building causes the building to oscillate, along wind, cross wind direction, and torsion. Then, vibration on high rise building... Continue Reading →
Vibration Damages Towers (Case : Ferrybridge Cooling Towers Collapse)
On the 1st November 1965, during high winds, three out of a group of eight cooling towers at Ferrybridge 'C' Power Station collapsed, with the remaining towers sustaining severe structural damage. The towers, each 375 feet high, had been constructed closer together than was usual and had greater shell diameters and shell surface area then... Continue Reading →
