Wind tunnel tests have been widely applied in aerodynamic investigations owing to their
unique advantages. However, it is difficult to theoretically establish a simplified symmetry or …

Engineers, architects, planners and designers must carefully consider the effects of wind in
their work. Due to their slender and flexible nature, long-span bridges can often experience …

Long-span cable-supported bridges are structures susceptible to high dynamic responses
due to the buffeting phenomenon. The current state-of-the-art method for buffeting response …

Abstract As Storm Tor struck the western coast of Norway, wind speeds and bridge deck
accelerations along the Hardanger Bridge girder were recorded by the monitoring system …

Several studies have shown that site measurements of the buffeting responses of long-span
bridges do not always agree with predictions from analytical models. The observed …

The traditional wind load assessment for long-span bridges relies on assumed models for
the wind field and aerodynamic coefficients from wind tunnel tests, which usually introduce …

Wind loading is an essential aspect in the design and assessment of long-span bridges, but
it is often not well-known and cannot be measured directly. Most structural health monitoring …

A new experimental set-up with an active turbulence grid for wind tunnel testing of bridge
decks in homogeneous freestream turbulence is presented. Unlike other active turbulence …

Full-scale monitoring of the Hardanger Bridge has revealed significant turbulence-induced
variability in the measured acceleration response. In this paper, a probabilistic model is …

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 …
