The tornado is in direct contact with the underlying surface, which causes damage and
indicates the vortex structure close to the ground. Accordingly, the maximum wind velocity …

Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that may be produced by convective clouds
and storms, and can produce substantial property damage, injuries, and deaths. To mitigate …

Several studies have been carried out to investigate the magnitude of forces induced by
tornado-like winds on buildings from experimental as well as computational side. The …

Spherical structures with various design styles are encountered in engineering. Most studies
have only examined the wind loads on hemispheres or smaller, which leads to a lack of …

To achieve community resilience and mitigate the consequences of natural hazards,
community officials must balance competing priorities for local resources and funding …

Continued loss of property and lives in tornadoes including the 23-person death toll
resulting from the Lee County AL tornado on March 3rd 2019 reflects the ever-present …

Due to the incredible property loss and significant fatalities induced by tornadoes each year,
tornado research has attracted considerable attention. However, previous studies mainly …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) have caused billions of dollars in damage and thousands of lives
lost globally over the past 50 years. Mitigating this massive socioeconomic impact requires …

The wind-induced response analysis of large-span roof using finite particle method (FPM) is
discussed in this paper. Based on vector mechanics, FPM is an intrinsic method to study …

This paper addresses the instability behaviour of single-layer lattice domes with a long span
subjected to wind action. Two structural configurations with a span of 120 m and a rise-to …
