What Exactly Is the Wind Tunnel Effect? The wind tunnel effect, sometimes called the “canyon effect,” occurs when tall buildings stand close together and channel the flow of wind.

Tall tower design is a highly specialist branch of structural engineering, particularly in the Gulf, where heat and high winds provide extra challenges to engineers. For most Gulf residents, the ...

These tall (and not-so-tall) projects innovate in different ways—from curvilinear geometries to novel structural systems.

Wind effects are a primary concern in the design of tall buildings. In this context, significant uncertainty can be attributed to important phenomena such as damping and its sources.

Local business using drones to wash windows, tall buildings Video capture of drone in action at Providence Hospital in Mobile The API failed to deliver the resource.

As tall buildings continue to rise in height and in numbers, ASHRAE is providing guidance needed to meet critical design elements.

However, fully enclosed buildings can be subject to increased internal pressure caused by the displacement and failure of the window and doors which subsequently can lead to additional building damage ...

Even on days with the lightest wind speeds it always seems those winds get increasingly stronger within city blocks with tall buildings.

The cities of the future may take the charge in progress for a very unexpected reason — with skylines doubling as massive energy storage units. And the idea? Not solar panels and wind turbine… ...

After 52 months of studying atom-bomb damage to buildings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Defense summed up their findings for the benefit of U.S.

Wind effects are a primary concern in the design of tall buildings. In this context, significant uncertainty can be attributed to important phenomena such as damping and its sources. Additionally, ...
