Description

Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges in mountainous areas includes the author’s research on such bridges and adopts a combination of on-site 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 the wind–vehicle–bridge system.

Key features

  • 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

Readership
