Abstract: A suspension bridge for a natural gas pipeline crossing has a small width-span ratio and is characterized by low damping and low stiffness. To improve the structure’s resistance to wind loads, it is necessary to establish ...

Abstract: This article presents an experimental investigation of a free-standing single-column bridge tower with chamfered square cross sections in smooth flow, with a particular focus on its aerodynamic characterization. First, a ...

Abstract: This study examined the influence of nonuniform wind fields in valleys on the dynamic responses of high-speed trains and long-span bridges. The wind field in a valley is considerably different from a theoretical uniform ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were carried employing two different free-stream turbulent flow fields and one harmonic vertical gust profile conditions, and pressure measurements of the buffeting force on six separated strips of a flat ...
