Abstract: The southeastern coast of China experiences severe casualties and economic losses every year due to tropical cyclones (TCs), most of which are attributed to TC-induced wind, rainfall, and wave hazards. Estimating TC-induced ...

Abstract: The continuous increase in traffic volume requires wider single box girders for long-span cable-supported bridges. Flutter and aerostatic instability are challenging issues for these flexible bridges, especially when they ...

Abstract: A short-rise-time gust is a typical nonsynoptic wind with abrupt changes in mean speed and turbulent intensity, which differs from normal winds at plain sites. Field measurements were conducted in a high-altitude deep-cut ...

Abstract: The coastal region of China is exposed to severe typhoon threats and suffers significant casualties as well as economic losses due to seven to eight landed storms every year. This study developed a geographically weighted ...

Abstract: The gust factor commonly is used in wind engineering community to convert mean wind speeds into gusty winds, which exhibit significant variability in real observations of typhoon winds. This study proposes a probabilistic ...

Abstract: Wind-induced vibration has become increasingly prominent for long-span bridges. Flutter instability, as a type of divergent vibration, is a key component in the wind resistance investigation of long-span bridges. Based on ...

Abstract: Aerodynamic flutter instability could lead to the catastrophic collapse of flexible long-span bridges and needs to be prevented. This study investigated the variability of eight experimentally measured flutter derivatives ...
