According to the 2016 Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking) & Elsevier, he is among the 150 most cited researchers world-wide both in the field of Civil Engineering and in the field of Energy Science & Engineering. He has received the 2013 Junior Award from the International Association of Wind Engineering and six best paper awards from the Elsevier ISI journal Building & Environment (2009, 2011, 2012) and at international conferences. He has published 126 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. His main areas of expertise are urban physics, wind engineering and sports aerodynamics. He is a Civil Engineer holding a PhD in Building Physics. The lecturer is Bert Blocken, professor at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands and KU Leuven in Belgium. If you want to take the upgraded/extended course, please wait with enrollment until mid February. Week 7: Climate adaptation of buildings and cities In January-February 2017, the course will be upgraded/extended with: The first 3 weeks are on fundamentals, the second 3 weeks on applications. Key fields addressed are urban physics, wind engineering and sports aerodynamics. It is intended for anyone with a strong interest in these topics. This course explains basic aspects of bluff body aerodynamics, wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with application to sports and building aerodynamics. Left hand wound springs should have black winding cones.Have we reached the boundaries of what can be achieved in sports and building design? The answer is definitely “NO”. Right hand wound springs should have red winding cones. Most winding cones are color coded for hand identification. Please remember the side of the door a spring is located on does not indicate the wind of the spring. To ensure the correct wind, please refer to the Winding Chart below. In the case of a distorted or broken spring, simply count the total number of coils and multiply by the wire size. Measure spring length with the spring in its unwound state. If no manufacturers name is evident, usually a part number on the cone will indicate the inside diameter: 134 or 175 = 1 3/4" ID 258 or 263 = 2 5/8" ID 375 or 334 = 3 3/4" ID The chart on the right shows common ID’s used by various manufacturers. In most cases, the cones inserted in each end of the spring will have a manufacturers name (OHD or Raynor, etc.) which will give a clue toward the proper identity. Measure the inside diameter to the nearest 1/16th of an inch. It’s also a good idea to measure twenty coils as a double check. The spring must be tightly compressed, with no gaps. If none of these tools are available, simply measure ten coils of wire to the nearest 1/16th of an inch, and refer to the Spring Wire Chart. Use of a caliper, micrometer, or wire gauge are common ways to determine a spring’s wire size. The four specific items required to purchase the correct replacement torsion spring.Ī springs wire size can be determined by several different tools or techniques. Available in wire sizes to the nearest 1/16th inch.
When ordering your garage door parts, keep in mind that commercial garage door springs tend to give out at around the same time. Get these 3 3/4-inch interior diameter garage door torsion springs from North Shore Commercial Door to instantly get your doors working like new again. With standard garage door springs lasting about 10,000 cycles, it’s inevitable that your commercial garage doors’ springs will eventually give out.
