Non-Stationary Wind Loading Identification for Large Transmission Tower Based on Dynamic Finite-Element Model Updating by Nai-Long Zhang, Chao Gao, Gang Qiu, Jing-Gang Yang, Bai-Jian Wu, Xiao-Xiang Cheng

“…An effective approach to deal with the structural failures of transmission towers in tornadic events is to develop good structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for them. However, the strategy for SHM of transmission towers against tornados should be different from the conventional atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) winds oriented ones, as the non-stationary nature of the tornados significantly differentiates them from the ABL winds. …”
