Extreme-Value Combination Rules for Tower–Line Systems Under Non-Gaussian Wind-Induced Vibration Response by Shuang Zhao, Xianhong Zhang, Chentao Zhang, Zhitao Yan, Xueqin Zhang, Bin Zhang, Xianxing Dai

“…An extensive parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of non-Gaussian response components on combined extreme responses, leading to the development of a modified CQC (MCQC) rule for extreme-value estimation. Quantitative analyses incorporating both correlation coefficients and standard deviations demonstrated that among the classical combination rules, the proposed MCQC rule provides superior accuracy in estimating the total wind-induced response of tower–line systems. …”
