Some Results on the Vulnerability Assessment of HAWTs Subjected to Wind and Seismic Actions

The spread of the wind energy industry has caused the construction of wind farms in areas prone to high seismic activity. Accordingly, the analysis of wind turbine loading associated with earthquakes is of crucial importance for an accurate assessment of their structural safety. Within this topic, t...
