NIMBY concerns about a preferred landing site for a 130-MW offshore wind farm on Long Island’s South Fork have emerged as the project moves through early approval for its cable installation routes.
In a long-awaited historic step toward “real" not cookbook wind engineering, the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers has issued a recommended alternative to the building code’s prescriptive procedures for the wind design of buildings.
Help is on the way for structural engineers driving toward improving the efficiency, reliability and resilience of buildings through performance-based wind design.
