09-23: Structural Modeling and Analysis of Natural-Draft Cooling Towers Cooling Tower ConversionAdvance finite element modeling and analysis can be useful to determine wind load capacity of natural draft cooling towers. Because of the aggressive process and environmental exposure conditions, natural draft cooling can sustain significant deterioration. This deterioration can be quantified and qualified by conducting a condition assessment. The findings from the assessment can be incorporated into the finite element model to determine wind load
