Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Engineering structures experience dynamic responses due to human-induced or natural dynamic loads. Once the loads exceed the structural capacity, it can lead to structural failure, and in severe cases, collapse may occur, resulting in casualties, property damage, and other adverse social impacts. Currently, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, remote sensing technology, and new materials, the research on structural dynamics and structural risk assessment is developing rapidly. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to analyze the dynamic response of engineering structures and implement sensory monitoring, with the goal of enhancing structural performance through the application of new materials, ultimately striving to improve the stability and service life of engineering structures, including but not limited to engineering structures, such as buildings, transmission lines, bridges, wind turbines, and underground structures. We cordially invite researchers from these fields and other related areas to submit interesting articles on this topic. The potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

  1. Analysis of the dynamic performance of engineering structures;
  2. New methods and instruments for structural risk assessment;
  3. Infiltration, corrosion, deformation, and other existing structural damage monitoring methods and reinforcement measures;
  4. Smart materials for monitoring.

The probability of accidents, including conductor breakage and tower collapse, for the transmission tower-line system significantly increases under combined ice and wind loads. The existing research on the failure probability of the tower-line system under combined ice and wind loads is limited to static calculation, ignoring the fluctuating effect of wind. In addition, uncertainty in the material strength and geometric dimensions of the structure due to the production process and other pertinent factors could affect the bearing capacity of the tower. To accurately assess the failure probability of transmission lines under combined ice and wind loads, this paper first established numerical models of the transmission tower-line system considering structural uncertainty based on the Latin Hypercube Sampling method. And then, the limit performance indexes of the uncertain models were determined by Pushover analysis. Subsequently, considering the joint probability distributions of ice thickness–wind speed and wind speed–wind direction, the failure probability of the tower-line system under ice and wind loads was calculated. Finally, the influence of structural uncertainty and fluctuating wind on the failure probability was discussed. The results showed that, compared with structural uncertainty, the fluctuating effect of wind had a more significant influence on the failure probability of the tower-line system under combined ice and wind loads. After considering the fluctuating effect of wind, the smaller ice loads can potentially lead to the failure of the transmission tower-line system. Full article
