The dynamic behaviour of long-span bridges is governed by stochastic loads from typically ambient excitation sources. In real life, these loads cannot be measured directly at full scale. However, inverse methods can be ...

Wind loading of large suspension bridges produces a variety of structural responses, including the vortex-induced vibrations of the hangers. Because it is impractical to monitor each hanger, this study explores the possibility ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) are growing disciplines in the aeroelastic analysis and design of long-span bridges, which, with their bluff body characteristics, offer major ...

For the assessment of extreme responses needed in design of marine structures, a full long-term analysis is recognized as the most accurate approach. However, due to the very large number of structural response analyses ...

Long-term monitoring data of wind velocities and accelerations on the Hardanger Bridge are used to investigate the relationship between the wind-loading and response processes. The extensive measurement system consisting ...

Wind-induced vibrations of the Hardanger Bridge deck were studied with reference to turbulence characteristics at the bridge site to evaluate the performance of the state-of-the-art methods for buffeting response analysis. ...

Buffeting analysis plays an important role in the wind-resistant design of long-span bridges. While computational methods have been widely used in the study of self-excited forces on bridge sections, there is very little ...

Experimentally derived aerodynamic derivatives are used to predict and prevent undesirable aeroelastic behavior of bridges and are currently considered indispensable in the design of long-span bridges. The aerodynamic ...

Med bruer som blir stadig lengre og slankere får aerodynamikk en større rolle i designfasen. Interaksjonen mellom luftstrøm og bevegelse i bruen medfører aerodynamiske bidrag til systemets totale stivhet og demping. Ved ...
