Despite the unprecedented permeation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and
collaboration platforms, architects and structural engineers, for the most part, act as separate …

This book provides in-depth results and case studies in innovation from actual work
undertaken in collaboration with industry partners in Architecture, Engineering, and …

Airports are significant energy consumers within the air transport sector, with energy usage
levels comparable to those of small cities. Due to their rapid economic growth and high …

The airport control tower has been widely constructed for rapidly expanding transportation
demand, whose anti-wind performance and high-efficiency upgrading technology are …

Wind loads are a predominant design factor for the gravity, thermal effects, and seismic
actions of thin-walled super-large cooling towers. The current load code provisions relating …

In order to study the wind-induced performance of super-large steel structure cooling towers,
a super-large hyperbolic 216.3 m-high cooling tower comprising a double-layer steel-truss …

Cooling towers are typical high-rise thin-walled structures which are of hyperbolic rotating
shell structure type and significantly sensitive to wind loads. Wind-related local instability is …

A comprehensive investigation was conducted aiming at the interference effects on wind
pressure distribution, aerodynamics characteristics, structural stability and reinforcement …

The cooling towers in this study are in a typical grouped arrangement. Traditional research
on grouped-tower interference effects usually emphasizes equivalent static wind loads and …

The optimal design of reinforced concrete beams (RCBs) and structures with an objective of
improving the chosen performances is an important problem in the field of construction …
