Abstract: A wind-tunnel study has been carried out to investigate the effects of the barrier wall and surface roughness on the simulated atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flow generated using the Counihan method, (i.e., the castellated ...

Abstract: Downslope crosswind bora gusts impacting vehicles represent a significant traffic safety issue, and vehicles on bridges are particularly vulnerable to such crosswinds. Wind tunnel experiments were carried out to investigate ...

Abstract: Surface roughness, ice accretion, and atmospheric turbulence are important issues because they can considerably alter the aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study describes wind-tunnel experiments ...

Abstract: Wind barriers are nowadays commonly placed on bridges to protect vehicles from adverse cross-wind effects. In addition to this beneficial influence, wind barriers may adversely affect the bridge dynamic stability. This is ...

Abstract: Ice accretion can considerably alter aerodynamic characteristics of bridge cables. The present study focuses on flow characteristics in the cable wake for three arrangements of ice accretion on the cable surface. This is ...
