Wind-Tunnel Testing of Low- and Midrise Buildings under Heterogeneous Upwind Terrains
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An extensive series of wind-tunnel experiments were conducted in the Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) Experimental Facility (EF) at the University of Florida (UF) to investigate the effect of heterogenous terrain on wind ...
Risk Assessment of Wind-Induced Vehicle Accidents on Long-Span Bridges Using Onsite Wind and Traffic Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A systematic approach was proposed to assess vehicle accident risk over sea-crossing bridges under strong winds. The annual frequency of an accident was evaluated as a risk index using the information on daily traffic ...
Decision Framework for Traffic Control on Sea-Crossing Bridges during Strong Winds
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new framework to establish a traffic control strategy is proposed for sea-crossing bridges. This new framework is particularly focused on the threat posed by strong winds, and two geometric characteristics of bridges – ...
