Abstract:
Among the constituent elements of the Kilia stone fortress, which guarded the eponymous Danube portcity from the end of the XV century to the end of the XVIII century, there were the entrance gates (First Great Gates, Second Great Gates, Small Gates, Greek Gates, Guild Gates, Water Gates, etc.), the towers (Arsenal Tower, Agha Tower, Armory Tower, Commander Tower, Lighthouse Tower, Bloody Tower, Prison Tower, Tower of Gedik Akhmet Pasha, Maiden Tower, Moor Tower, Elephant Tower, Wool Tower, Mountain Tower, Millet Tower, Red Tower, Flat Tower, Cracked Tower, Biscuit Tower, etc.), courtyards (“civil courtyard”, “middle courtyard”, “garrison courtyard”, “commander courtyard” or “citadel courtyard”), curtains, artillery terraces, defensive ditches, as well as internal auxiliary buildings (residential houses, barracks, a cult object, a bathhouse, etc.). The gates were located in towers or stone curtains. The towers adjoined the walls (corner and intermediate) or advanced towards the enemy. Movable machicoulis or hoardings were used as vertical flanking elements. In the Kilia stone fortress there were hollow towers and “half-towers”. Depending on the shape of the plan, the towers could be square, rectangular, round, polygonal, D-shaped and with a complex plan ones.

Abstract:
As the antenna-supporting structures, latticed telecommunication steel towers are considered as critical members of telecommunication infrastructures. It is necessary to perform progressive collapse analysis of lattice telecommunication towers under wind loads. The present study conducts a nonlinear dynamic analysis on 50 m high typical standard latticed telecommunication tripole tower and angle tower by alternative load path method. The finite element models for two towers subjected to design wind loads are developed by ABAQUS. The analysis results show that, for 50 m high standard tripole tower, the member failure in the first three tower sections from tower top would not trigger the collapse of the tower. From the fourth tower section to tower bottom, the member failure at certain wind direction may cause a collapse. For 50 m high standard angle tower, the single member failure in any tower section would not cause the collapse of the tower. A dynamic sensitivity index is proposed to identify the most unfavorable wind direction for tripole tower and angle tower. A progressive collapse fragile curve based on collapse probability of telecommunication tower under wind loads is proposed to assess the anticollapse performance of the towers.

Abstract:
In this paper, the structural optimization of high-rise guyed tower is carried out for the guyed wire and tower column schemes. The schemes are compared from the four guyed wires and eight guyed wires, the width of the tower column, the uniform cross-section tower column and the variable cross-section tower column, etc. And the single-column tower with eight guyed wires and variable cross-section is recommended for the high-rise guyed tower. Through the full-scale test study of the high-rise guyed tower, the safety of the high-rise guyed tower structural optimization and the feasibility of engineering application are verified. According to the technical and economic analysis of traditional self-supporting towers and high-rise guyed towers recommended in this paper, it can be seen that the weight and total cost of the high-rise guyed towers are 75.3% and 88.5% of the traditional self-supporting towers respectively, demonstrating the technical and economic advantages of the high-rise guyed towers. The advantages and disadvantages of high-rise guyed towers and self-supporting towers are summarized for reference in engineering design.

Full text
Abstract:
The small scale of transmission towers and the environmental diversity around their situations make their detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images a challenging task. This paper presents a new hierarchical detection algorithm for transmission towers. First, Signal-to-Clutter Ratios (SCRs) of pixels are calculated. Afterwards, a SCR threshold is set. Since transmission towers possess strong scattering characteristics, pixels with SCRs above the threshold are considered as potential transmission tower pixels. Second, spatial densities of potential transmission tower pixels are calculated. According to the aggregation characteristics of transmission tower pixels, some potential transmission tower pixels with small spatial densities are removed. The remained potential transmission tower pixels are considered as candidate transmission tower pixels. The candidate transmission tower pixels are grouped by the nearest neighbour scheme such that in each group the distance between pixels is under a given threshold. Thus, each of the groups is viewed as a quasi-transmission tower. Convex-hulls of quasi-transmission towers are built, and then Minimum Bounding Rectangle (MBR) for each convex-hull is generated. According to the rectangle aspect ratios of MBRs, the real transmission towers are extracted. C-band HH-polarization GaoFen-3 (GF-3) amplitude images are used for experiments and four of the most popular transmission tower detection algorithms are selected as comparing algorithms to validate the proposed algorithms. The detection performance of transmission towers is evaluated with detection rate and quality factor. Experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm can efficiently and accurately detect transmission towers while maintaining the transmission tower geometry to a certain extent, which indicates that the proposed algorithm is efficient and promising.

Full text
Abstract:
For heat rejection, small air-cooling towers are widely used in mine ventilation systems. However, the thermal efficiency of the cooling towers can be significantly affected by their geometrical arrangement and crosswind conditions. In certain ambient conditions, heated air coming from an exit of one tower can flow to intakes of other towers, which leads to a reduction in the thermal efficiency of the entire ventilation system. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of crosswind speed and tower spacing on the temperature and moisture content of intakes of cooling towers. For this purpose, a three-dimensional CFD model of the non-isothermal turbulent flow of moist air around cooling towers is proposed. The model is based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with a standard turbulence model which are supplemented by heat transfer and moisture transport equations. The investigation of the effects of the crosswind speed and the tower spacing was carried out for two cooling towers by multiparametric numerical simulation using the CFD model. It was shown that the upstream tower protects the downstream one from the effect of the crosswind. The increase in the crosswind speed causes a rise in temperature and moisture content at the intakes of the downstream tower. The increase in the tower spacing, in general, contributes to a decrease in air temperature at the intakes of the downstream tower. However, at low crosswind speed, the heat transfer at the intakes can rise with the tower spacing due to a reduction in the protection possibilities of the upstream tower. Results of the numerical simulation of airflow around three cooling towers indicated that the increase in the number of cooling towers contributes to a rise in temperature and moisture content at the intakes.

Full text
Abstract:
Disaster investigation results have shown that most wind-induced damage to transmission towers is related to downbursts. To clarify the effects of downbursts’ parameters on transmission towers with different heights, studies were conducted on five transmission towers with different diameters under static and moving downburst wind conditions. As a comparison, the responses of the towers under normal wind conditions were studied. The results showed that the effect of downbursts on the response of the transmission tower increased with the distance between the downburst center and the tower (r) when r < 1.0 Djet (Djet is the jet diameter of downburst) and then decreased when r > 1.0 Djet. The effects of jet diameter on the response of transmission towers with different tower heights were similar. As the jet diameter increased, the response of the tower continued growing until it reached a peak value and then steadily decreased soon thereafter. When the tower height was below 81.5 m, the wind load of the downburst on the transmission tower was significantly greater than that of the normal wind. As the tower height increased, the ratio of the transmission tower’s response under the two types of wind fields rapidly declined to about 0.91–1.01.

Abstract:
With the continuous development of EHV (UHV) transmission lines，new lines often need to drill through the built lines，so it is urgent to study the type of diving towers. Based on typical weather conditions and commonly used ground wire models, the basic type and tower type selection of 110kV single and double circuit overpass towers in high altitude areas are studied, and two single and double circuit overpass tower schemes are planned and arranged. And according to the pole tower structure design and optimization theory, the 110kV single-circuit diving tower and the 110kV dual-circuit diving tower are optimized from the structural optimization layout and the pole tower structure node optimization design. The research results show that the single-circuit diving tower adopts the wine glass tower, and the wires are arranged horizontally, and the double-circuit diving tower effectively reduces the height of the tower. The dish-shaped tower is used, and the single-circuit wires are arranged in a triangle pattern, which provides a certain practical guiding significance for the 110kV diving-across technology application.

Abstract:
Ultra-high-voltage (UHV) cup-type transmission towers supported with long-span transmission lines are unavoidably subjected to the coupling action between the towers and the transmission lines. Therefore, investigating how tower-line coupling affects UHV cup-type transmission towers is important. In this study, three shaking table array tests of an UHV cup-type transmission tower-line system were carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the coupling action between the towers and transmission lines based on the following four comparative models: a single-tower model, a single-tower model with suspended lumped masses, a three-tower-two-line model, and a five-tower-four-line model. The test results demonstrated that the tower-line coupling interaction had a significant effect on the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses, as the suspended conductor line and the suspended lumped mass decreased the frequency of the transmission tower. Under longitudinal ground motion, the model with the suspended lumped mass had the lowest peak acceleration response and the largest peak displacement response. Under the same ground motion, the four models had similar peak strains in the longitudinal direction. Under transverse-the-line ground motion, the model with the suspended lumped mass had the lowest peak acceleration response and the smallest peak responses for displacement and strain in the transverse direction; therefore, this model is inappropriate for the simulation and seismic evaluation of transmission tower-line systems.

Abstract:
This thesis is an architectural investigation of a house as a rational object imbued by memory. The place is a wooded hill on the border between a hundred acre farm and the marshy ravine of the Totopotomoy "Totomoy" Creek in Mechanicsville, Virginia. The farm dates back to the Civil War when the Totomoy was no man's land between Union and Confederate earth works. It has been farmed by my grandfather since the late 1940s. The house is a pair of rectangles separated by a stair. The concrete block walls are punctured by large windows, aligned to define interior passage and establishing clarity of spatial and formal relationships. The tower house is the reduction and rational manifestation of familial memory.

Abstract:
Today, many small aerodromes have a hard time surviving economically, and amongst the largest cost is air traffic control. Airlines are cutting costs where they can, and many times this affects the aerodromes as well, e.g. when airlines decide to park remotely instead of at the gate. The project called Remotely Operated Towers, initiated by SESAR and run by Saab and LFV, is aiming to address this problem. The project revolves around remotely providing ATS to aerodromes where it is deemed suitable. A big challenge in this project is how to assign aerodromes to remote tower modules in the remote control centre. There are many ways to do this, but there is only a few ways to do it to achieve the least amount of modules. This thesis aims to find an optimal solution to the challenge mentioned above. The thesis resulted in a model where the user can provide the input of choice, i.e. aerodromes with associated ATS operating hours and movements, for a specific period – and receive the assignment schedule for the modules, saying exactly which aerodrome are to be controlled by which module at what time.

Abstract:
The Eisenhower Avenue Valley site is unique in the Washington Area for its highrise development potential. It offers access to the Metro line, the beltway and Old Town Alexandria. Its zoning diversity will accommodate light Industrial, commercial and residential construction. The question of whether or not to build a tower in proximity to the temple is an architectural and a political question. The assumption of this project is that the Eisenhower Avenue Valley will have high rise development. This design has recognized the significance of the Eisenhower Avenue Valley site and its zoning. It identifies the specific aspects of the site, such as the proximity of the Metro Line, the beltway, Old Town and the Potomac River. Within this context, the project defines the user of the metro by finding an architectural meaning within the planning issues discussed above. As the grid-lock of the beltway grows and becomes more congested, the Metro Line will flourish. The Metro line, when used to its greatest potential, will soon replace the street grid and city block as an urban organizational element. A city's character is drawn from this urban element. This project responds to this element by defining the individual within such a context. Retail commercial and residential space exist with respect to the Metro Line, not in competition with, or in ignorance of it. A perpendicular axis emerges from the Metro Line. Ordered around this axis are residential, commercial and retail spaces that exploit their specific site advantages. The accomplishment of this project has been in understanding and developing an architectural solution to these planning Issues and questions for the individual who will live, work and shop in this environment. I would like to acknowledge the help of several individuals. Ed Rahame's carpentry expertise and· advice helped me through the oral defense of my thesis. Tim Mount's photographic ability and patience were greatly appreciated. Don Casey provided intimate knowledge of the Eisenhower Avenue Valley and the public policy applied to it. This came from his years in public service as a City Councilman.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a method of tracking and correcting for the swaying of a central receiver tower in concentrated solar production plants. The method uses a camera with image processing algorithms to detect movement of the center of the tower. A prototype was constructed utilizing a CMOS camera connected to a microcontroller to control the movements of three surrounding heliostats. The prototype uses blob-tracking algorithms to detect and correct for movements of a colored model target. The model was able to detect movements in the tower with average error of 0.32 degrees, and was able to correctly orient the surrounding heliostats to within 1.2 and 2.6 degrees of accuracy while testing indoors and outdoors, respectively.

Abstract:
The phenomenon of building numerous towers in Siphnos and also in other Hellenic regions in antiquity (sixth to fourth century BC) has been studied only relatively recently by scholars. Their number, the quality of the cture, and the constant typology of these towers, contest the suggested theories about their original purpose. In this study, the analysis of the towers addresses not just the structure of the building but also the ning that has been attributed to the space and the form. This research is an attempt to detect the architectural ities that render the tower capable of corresponding to specific requirements and to fulfilling the intentions their creators. The analysis of the meaning and the intentions which prompted the selection of the particular architectural eidos, is derived from the perceptions and beliefs of that era in terms of its social, religious, philosophical and technological contexts. The results of the phenomenological analysis have been confirmed further supported from by historical, religious and anthropological research. The research proposes that the towers of Siphnos have had a multivalent connection with the mines ch can be interpreted as sacred and functional. The vegetation and generation of metals, ores and minerals considered as a certain fact in antiquity. The regeneration of all creatures presupposed the ceremonial repetition of the sacred coitus of the primordial couple in the ritual known as "hieros gamos". The tower is the ptor, the intermediary vehicle in the performance of this holy marriage, attracting thunderbolts that constitute the sign of this union. Also, the towers define and demarcate the metallurgical region and shape the geographical networks in accordance with the entries of the galleries, in order to construct their specific ntated directions. The capability of the towers in attracting lightning, has served positively the safety of the e workers and mines. The fact that all the towers stand on surface metalliferous veins, as was expected, rding to renaissance texts, answers the unsolved problem of the placing of the towers around the island and firms the verification of the proposed theory.

Abstract:
‘Tower Height Raising and Embedding’ shows how to raise the height of towers, as well as how to detect embedded towers within a given tower. Raising the number of storeys of a capped tower by one is a construction similar in spirit to grope height raising, but more sophisticated. The new aspect, which receives careful treatment, is the geometric control needed to make the top storey arbitrarily small. An n-storey capped tower contains a capped tower with (n + 1) storeys and the same attaching region, and this can be realized by an embedding that places connected components of the top storey into balls of arbitrarily chosen small diameter. Consequently, endpoint compactifications of infinite towers may be embedded as well.

Abstract:
The numerical simulation of offshore wind turbines needs a realistic tower shadow model, especially when studying downwind wind turbine designs. Using computational fluid dynamic simulations of the wind flow field around a two-dimensional tubular tower and corresponding truss tower cross-sections we show that current tower shadow models do not correctly represent the mean wind speeds close to such complex geometries. Interestingly, the multi-member extension of Powles’ tower shadow model with the square-root law is found to be adequate for the truss tower at moderate distances, and we suggest parameter values that better reproduce the velocities encountered by the blades in such circumstances. Finally, velocity spectra show that the fluctuations behind the two towers are almost an order of magnitude smaller for the truss tower. This suggests that downwind wind turbines on truss towers might suffer less from fatigue damage than downwind machines on tubular towers.

Abstract:
In this project, we designed a small scale model of a solar updraft tower. Our design was based upon previous renderings for solar updraft towers in Spain and Arizona. The purpose of our small scale solar updraft tower was twofold: 1) to prove the theory behind the solar updraft tower is plausible and 2) to produce enough energy to charge a battery storage system. The battery storage system would be used as a backup for fault conditions in our Smart Grid system. Our main objectives were to find optimal dimensions and materials to construct our solar updraft tower, all within the constraints of a budget. Our goal was to use what we’ve learned through design and testing to expand the knowledge of solar updraft towers.

Abstract:
<p>The four-tower cable-stayed bridge with four towers and three main spans can be set up with various symmetrical and asymmetrical longitudinal restraint schemes for the whole bridge. Different longitudinal restraint systems will directly affect the load transfer path and change the mechanical behavior of the four-tower cable-stayed bridge structure, which in turn affects the structural design of the bridge. Taking a four-tower cable-stayed bridge as the research object, the structural mechanical behaviors of semi-floating system, temperature adaptive system, middle two- tower elastic cable restraint system, and middle single-tower longitudinal fixed restraint system under the effect of temperature load, longitudinal wind load, and load combination are compared and analyzed. The results show that the semi-floating system will cause a larger longitudinal displacement of the main beam, which will increase the internal force of the side towers substantially. Increasing the restraint of the main beam and the middle towers can make the four towers' forces uniform.The temperature adaptive system and the middle two towers elastic cable system have better feasibility.</p>

Abstract:
In the Middle Ages a chain suspended between two towers defended the entrance of Kyrenia’s little harbour, like the chain across the Golden Horn in Constantinople. William de Oldenburg, who visited Cyprus in 1211 during the reign of King Hugh I, referred to Kyrenia as “a small town well-fortified, which has a castle with walls and towers”. He perceived the chain tower as part of Kyrenia’s fortification system in that time. The Byzantines had already fortified the city, but in the thirteenth century, during the Longobard war, before the siege of the city, Frederick II’s party, under the direction of Captain Philippo Genardo, improved the defences of the city. The chain tower is still visible today in the north side of the old Kyrenia harbour. It consists of an 8,15 m diameter cylindrical tower and a 1,5 m diameter pillar on top of it. The tower was supporting a chain attached on the other side to another structure. The fortifications on the north side terminated against the harbour in a square tower or bastion holding the chain to be raised and lowered by means of a windlass. The paper includes the digital photogrammetric survey of the chain tower using a structure from motion software, the historical research and the comparison with other coeval harbour defence constructions of the eastern Mediterranean.

Abstract:
<p>Wind turbines are commonly used power generation systems around the world and their application is becoming increasingly widespread. Traditionally, circular‐cross‐section wind towers have been used, but recent upsizing of wind turbines has exposed weaknesses of these structures, including problems related to manufacturing and inadequate strength. Thus, the concept of site‐ assembled modular towers with polygonal cross‐sections such as octagonal and/or tetradecagonal has been proposed, but their wind‐resistant performances have not been clearly investigated. In the present study, the wind‐resistant performances of polygonal cross‐sectional towers were investigated through wind tunnel tests. It was thus found that the maximum force coefficient of the upper structure is larger than that of the tower, which makes the effect of cross‐sectional tower shape rather small. The mean and fluctuating lift force coefficients of a helical square cross‐sectional tower were quite small for cases of tower only and wind turbine.</p>
