Due to enhanced impacts of compound events, the importance of assessing climate change
impacts on extremes from a multivariate perspective has recently been receiving …

The risk of natural hazards is continuously increasing because of climate change and the
ever-increasing population density. Therefore, understanding and mitigating the risks of …

This paper focuses on analyzing the ice and wind conditions for a high voltage transmission
line system going over mountainous terrain in British Columbia, Canada. After analyzing …

The tall building construction sector has recently exhibited an increasing development,
especially in Europe. This activity is aligned with European policies regarding soil …

Traditionally, external hazards are considered in the design of a building through the various
combinations of loads prescribed in relevant design codes and standards. It is often the case …

The ice accretion load in Canadian structural design codes is developed based on an
operational ice accretion prediction model. In the present study, three models are employed …

Transmission towers and overhead transmission lines are designed and constructed by
considering the combined ice load and wind-on-ice load if the ice accretion hazard is not …

Given the importance of wind gusts to structural design and the economic and ecological
impacts of extreme winds, there is a need for better understanding of the spatial variability of …

Severe ice accretion and its concurrent wind load could cause failure of overhead
transmission system or reduce its capacity. We proposed a simple-to-use procedure to …

Windstorms are a major natural hazard in many countries. The objective of this study is to
identify and characterize intense windstorms during the last 4 decades in the US Northeast …
