Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges

Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges includes the author’s research on these types of bridges, adopting a combination of onsite measurements, wind tunnel tests, theoretical analyses, and numerical calculations to discuss the characteristics and parameters of the wind environment at bridge sites, the buffeting response of bridges under the effect of winds on bridges in mountainous areas, the vortex response of wide-bodied flat steel box girders, chattering characteristics (i.e., noise characteristics), and the vibration characteristics of wind-vehicle-bridge systems.

• Includes detailed analyses of complex wind environments at bridge sites, along with the impact of pulsating wind on such bridges
• Describes how to reduce fatigue damage caused by buffeting in bridge design and operation
• Proposes a new wind speed calculation system and its impact on vibration
• Helps bridge builders and civil and structural engineers design bridges for operation in mountainous areas
