Turning with the Wind
A 125-m high tower built at the site of the Glasgow Science Center in the United Kingdom required some innovative design methods. To reduce the aerodynamic effects imposed on the slender...
Vortex Shedding Induced Fatigue Fracture of Mast Tower
The fracture of a pair of 60m high circular steel masts is investigated. The design criteria and fabrication practices are reviewed. The cause of failure is related to the fatigued condition...
Structural Optimization to Limit Natural Periods
It is necessary to limit the natural periods of some structures to control their response to dynamic loads. Floor systems with natural periods greater than approximately 0.15 seconds may...
Flow Measurement in Irrigation Practice: State-of-the-Art
State-of-the-art flow metering developments for irrigation are reviewed. Selected older methods are updated with recent improvements. These include orifice meters, venturi meters, critical-flow...
Time Dependent Stochastic Characteristics of the Lateral Random Vibration of Tall Structures with Circular Cross-Section
From full scale measurement of the pressure field at three levels of a concrete chimney with 230 m height the lift coefficient is deduced and the lateral oscillation is investigated. The...
Comparative WWind Tunnel Testing of Bridge Road Decks
A 1:75 scale full aeroelastic model of the Quincy Bridge over the Mississippi River was tested in the National Research Council of Canada 9 m multiplied by 9 m wind tunnel. Tests were...
