Wall of Wind vs. Transmission Tower Models

Caption

Wall of Wind vs. transmission towers. A new study measured laboratory-generated hurricane-force wind response on realistic 1:50 scale mode electric transmission towers. The dataset generated won a 2022 NHERI DesignSafe Dataset award. Study results could help revise engineering codes for safer design of new towers.
