Performance of Light-Frame Structures Subject to Extreme Wind Loads

A solar photovoltaic system consists of tilted panels and is prone to extreme wind loads during hurricanes or typhoons. To ensure the proper functioning of the system, it is important to determine its aerodynamic characteristics. Offshore photovoltaic (PV) systems have been developed in recent years. Wind loads are associated with wind, wave climates, and tidal regimes. In this study, the orientation of a single panel is adjusted to different angles of tilt (10°–80°) and angles of incidence for wind (0°–180°) that are pertinent to offshore PV panels. The critical wind loads on a tilted panel are observed at lower angles of incidence for the wind, when the angle of tilt for the panel is greater than 30°.

Steel Frame Structures

Static tests were conducted on a two-story mobile building under wind loads, and the building is composed of two box units of steel frame structures. The mechanical behavior and the deformation performance of the structures were investigated. Based on the principle of static equivalent, the horizontal loads to load points of the top of the columns were imposed to simulate the wind loads. The displacement values and relative shifting values of the frame structures were obtained. The tests results show that the horizontal deflections of the mobile buildings are greatly affected by the relative shifting of the separate box units. And the conclusion also applies to the container buildings.
