Abstract: The effects of spanwise wind correlation and turbulence intensity on the stability of the torsional response of long span bridges are studied. An aerodynamic coefficient model is used for the self‐excited forces. Wind ...

Abstract: The Cabin John Bridge (CJB), located just outside Washington, D.C., is a masonry arch with a central angle of 110°, an intrados radius of 40.9 m (134 ft), and a span of 67 m (220 ft). Construction of the bridge began in ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of a geometrically nonlinear cable system is studied. Vector‐valued, nonwhite, correlated, stationary random excitation is used. The excitation has both additive and parametric components. The equations ...

Abstract: Navier’s 1823 Memoire (C. L. Navier. 1823. Rapport à Monsieur Becquey, Conseiller d’État, Directeur Général des Ponts et Chaussées et des Mines; et mémoire sur les ponts suspendus. Paris: L’Imprimerie Royale) is the seminal ...

Abstract: The Allegheny Aqueduct (1845–1861) in Pittsburgh was the first suspension bridge designed and constructed by John A. Roebling (1806–1869), who would go on to design some of the most prominent and longest-spanning suspension ...

Abstract: The Smithfield Street Bridge (1846–1883) in Pittsburgh was the first roadway suspension bridge designed and constructed by John A. Roebling (1806–1869). The eight-span bridge was built on the surviving masonry piers of a ...
