As an in-depth guide to understanding wind effects on
cable-supported bridges, this book uses analytical, numerical and
experimental methods to give readers a fundamental and practical
understanding of the subject matter. It is structured to
systemically move from introductory areas through to advanced
topics currently being developed from research work. The author
concludes with the application of the theory covered to real-world
examples, enabling readers to apply their knowledge. The author
provides background material, covering areas such as wind climate,
cable-supported bridges, wind-induced damage, and the history of
bridge wind engineering. Wind characteristics in atmospheric
boundary layer, mean wind load and aerostatic instability,
wind-induced vibration and aerodynamic instability, and wind tunnel
testing are then described as the fundamentals of the subject.
State-of-the-art contributions include rain-wind-induced cable
vibration, wind-vehicle-bridge interaction, wind-induced vibration
control, wind and structural health monitoring, fatigue analysis,
reliability analysis, typhoon wind simulation, non-stationary and
nonlinear buffeting response. Lastly, the theory is applied to the
actual long-span cable-supported bridges. * Structured in an
easy-to-follow way, covering the topic from the fundamentals right
through to the state-of-the-art * Describes advanced topics such as
wind and structural health monitoring and non-stationary and
nonlinear buffeting response * Gives a comprehensive description of
various methods including CFD simulations of bridge and vehicle
loading * Uses two projects with which the author has worked
extensively, Stonecutters cable-stayed bridge and Tsing Ma
suspension bridge, as worked examples, giving readers a practical
understanding
