And head of wind engineering at wsp uk. wsp is a consulting firm whose protfolio include many tall building designs, such as the shard and 22 bishopsgate in the city of london. thanks very much forjoining us. we have seen interesting examples of building damage here. we saw in cornwall the corrugated root ripped off. we had a church in wales which stood for hundreds of years where part of the spire came off and of course we had what happened with what i recall as the millennium dome and now the ...

FIUs 20th NSF CAREER Award recipient, Elawady will receive more than $700K to advance research into the impact of downburst winds, caused by thunderstorms, on building structures worldwide.  

This article discusses the use of wind farm modeling to optimize the design of existing wind farms.

South florida. >> hurricane andrew changed everything. millions of dollars poured in to rebuild south florida. part of that funding came to create us, the international research center at florida international university. the whole purpose is should we get future hurricanes, how we can build better and build stronger. what weve done now, weve taken what mother nature creates in the real world and we brought it into the research world. were trying to replicate a real hurricane. we have little try...
