Mitigation of Aerodynamic Uplift Loads Using Roof Integrated Wind Turbine Systems

Coastal areas of the US are affected by extreme wind events, including hurricanes. Roofs are the most vulnerable building components as they are often damaged by high wind uplift forces acting on the edges and corners. This study investigates the application of a mitigation strategy, in the form of...
