On the Wind Energy Resource above High-Rise Buildings
(MDPI, 2020)
One of the main challenges of urban wind energy harvesting is the understanding of the flow characteristics where urban wind turbines are to be installed. Among viable locations within the urban environment, high-rise ...
On the Flow over High-rise Building for Wind Energy Harvesting: An Experimental Investigation of Wind Speed and Surface Pressure
(MDPI, 2020)
The human migration from rural to urban areas has triggered a chain reaction causing the spiking energy demand of cities worldwide. High-rise buildings filling the urban skyline could potentially provide a means to improve ...
An Adaptive Fiber Section Discretization Scheme for Nonlinear Frame Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022)
The paper proposes an adaptive fiber section discretization scheme for inelastic frame elements. The scheme uses cubature rules for the efficient and accurate evaluation of the section response over the elastic portion of ...
Structural Behaviour of Axially Loaded Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Columns during the Top-Down Construction Method
(Applied Sciences, 2022)
The paper discusses the structural behaviour of concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFT)
when applied to the top-down construction method as temporary internal supports for ceilings. Their
ultimate capacity to take into ...
