What is a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure?

In order to respond to the national goal of “carbon neutralization” and make more rational and effective use of photovoltaic resources, combined with the actual photovoltaic substation project, a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure design is designed.

Are ground mounting steel frames suitable for PV solar power plant projects?

In the photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant projects, PV solar panel (SP) support structure is one of the main elements and limited numerical studies exist on PVSP ground mounting steel frames to be a research gap that has not be addressed adequately in the literature.

Are performance-based design approaches suitable for seismic resilient steel structures?

Challenges arising from the incorporation of these new design philosophies are also described and areas for further development are identified. Performance-based design approaches for seismic resilient steel structures are touched upon, and some practical applications that have emerged over the last decade are presented.

Are steel buildings earthquake resistant?

Steel structures have long been recognized as excellent earthquake-resistant systems. However, this viewpoint wavered after the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes, when thousands of steel buildings experienced local or global damage making them difficult, if not impossible, to repair.

Do seismic resilient steel structures reduce post-earthquake losses?

Seismic resilient steel structures can significantly reduce (i) post-earthquake losses associated with repair (including direct, interruption, and suspension of building occupation costs), and (ii) the need for building demolition. Owners and occupiers, as well as society at large, benefit from continued building occupancy.

Are steel structures earthquake-resistant?

Practical applications that have emerged over the last decade are presented. Steel structures have long been recognized as excellent earthquake-resistant systems.
