Wind Effects on Cable-Supported Bridges

This book provides readers with an overview of the effects of wind on cable-supported bridges. Topics include: types of wind storms and types of cable-supported bridges; profiles of winds in atmospheric boundary layer; mean wind load; vibration and vibration control; cable vibrations; wind-road-vehicle-bridge interactions; computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations; wind tunnel studies and simulation of typhoon wind; structural health monitoring and fatigue analysis; and buffeting response. Two bridges, Stonecutters cable-stayed bridge and Tsing Ma suspension bridge, serve as case studies to illustrate subject matter.
