Wind Resistance Evaluation of Existing Standing Buddha Statue Using 3D Laser Scanning and CFD
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Underestimating the aerodynamic forces acting on structures can lead to them sustaining severe damage. Currently, there are limited studies on the wind flow around complex-shaped tall structures such as the Buddha statue ...
Numerical Evaluation of Sea Salt Amounts Deposited on Bridge Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is important to evaluate the amount of airborne sea salt adhering to the structural members of a bridge for effective maintenance. This study sought to develop a method to estimate salt conditions on individual road ...
Effects of Handrail Details on Vortex-Induced Vibration for a Box-Girder Bridge
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Evaluating the aerodynamic instability of a bridge girder fitted with bridge attachments such as handrails is critical for the wind-resistance design of a long-span bridge. However, the effects of the detailed configuration ...
Side-Surface Openings Effect on Aerodynamic Performance of Box Girders in Tandem
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A butterfly web girder is a box girder that has discretely distributed side-surface openings. Due to these openings, butterfly web girders show better aerodynamic performance than conventional box girders. This study aims ...
