Description

Cable Vibration Mitigation Technology in Cable-stayed Bridges provides an overview of research and engineering practices on stay cable vibration control. The book provides a systematic introduction to stay cable vibration issues, commonly used mitigation measures, vibration control system design theories, related technologies, and the latest trends. It includes detailed case studies of the initial vibration mitigation design for various bridges and subsequent upgrades to their vibration control systems. In addition, the book comprehensively overviews the stay cable vibration control design process, device selection, testing, vibration mitigation performance evaluation, and emerging challenges and solutions for ultra-long stay cables in long-span cable-stayed bridges.

Key features

  • Provides an overview of the basic analytical models and vibration types of stay cables
  • Reviews aerodynamic measures, mechanical dampers and cross-ties for cable vibration reduction, and the corresponding methods for theoretical modeling and vibration control design
  • Provides an analysis of the performance testing of stay cable dampers, damping measurements, and long-term monitoring of cable vibrations and damper performance
