Abstract: Extremely high-suction pressures generated beneath the conical vortex flow in the roof-corner region have a devastating effect on the building roofs in high-wind events. The application of quasi-steady theory near the roof ...

Abstract: The effects of spanwise wind‐velocity correlation and turbulence intensity on the coupled vertical‐torsional response of long‐span suspension bridges are studied. Turbulence is accounted for in the self‐excited loads that ...

Abstract: Dry and ice galloping of power transmission lines (conductors) that occur at moderate to large wind speeds cause large-amplitude motion in these long-suspended cables. This phenomenon can cause catastrophic damages such ...

Abstract: Large-amplitude vibrations are known to occur in the main stays of cable-stayed bridges in the presence of rain and wind. Although this problem first surfaced in many bridges around the world in the mid-1980s, it was not ...

Abstract: Simultaneous extraction of all the aeroelastic parameters of a flexible bridge deck from a single section‐model test has been a desirable goal not fully attained in the past. In the work reported herein, an experimental ...

Abstract: A single-degree-of-freedom mathematical model for describing vortex-induced response of a structure at “lock-in” includes certain aeroelastic parameters that need to be extracted from wind tunnel tests. The methods available ...
