Abstract: Despite rapid development in computational fluid dynamics, semiempirical analyses based on parameters identified from spring-mounted sectional models are still widely used to examine wind-induced effects on bridges. In ...

Abstract: The transient wind field during a nonsynoptic wind event (e.g., thunderstorm downburst) presents time-varying mean and nonstationary fluctuating components, and hence is not easy to be reproduced in a conventional ...

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the influence of turbulent three-dimensional (3D) and distortion effects on the unsteady lateral buffeting force of trains on a streamlined deck and propose a closed form equation for the 3D ...
