Fatigue Assessment of Steel Frames under Aerodynamic Loads: In Application to Steel Hollow Section Portal Frames Supporting Traffic Signs

Although modern technologies such as smartphones with GPS functionality make navigation substantially easier, automobilists still rely on traffic signs to inform them which exit to take or which lane to follow. These traffic signs on highways are of substantial size rendering them, and their support structures, extremely susceptible to...

Combined Wind and Wave Loads for Fatigue Analysis in the Frequency Domain

Project Code: OE54015, OE54030. The potential of offshore wind is enormous. The wind resource offshore is generally much greater than onshore, especially at bigger water depths. Expanding prudently into the sea leads to bigger support structures for the wind turbine. Therefore, the need for optimized designs, which will establish the wind energy...
