This paper is intended to review the main causes and mechanisms of bridge collapse. The
common factors resulting in bridge collapse are first reviewed. These factors are classified …

Dynamic performance is an important consideration in long-span bridge design. Owing to its
flexibility and low dam**, various types of vibration from different sources of excitation …

Aeroelastic instability and buffeting are two wind-induced phenomena for long-span bridges.
In the traditional method, aeroelastic instability and buffeting are analyzed separately. If …

Long span suspension bridges cost billions. In recent decades, structural health monitoring
systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of these …

The classical spectral representation method and its improved versions have been widely
used to generate non-stationary wind fields. However, they are not efficient for the simulation …

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 …

This paper presents a framework of dynamic analysis of coupled three-dimensional vehicle–
bridge system under strong winds. A general formulation of this system is introduced to …

Continuously growing number and span length of long-span bridges in coastal region of
China require a robust aeroelastic design to against the tropical-cyclone (TC)-induced flutter …

Numerical simulations of wind loads and their effects are critical in the design of structures to
ensure their safety under winds. The simulations range from generation of time histories of …

The aerodynamic behavior of a bridge deck section model with a simple single-box shape
was characterized in wind tunnel. At large nose-up mean angles of attack, a torsional …
