Cable supported bridges are flexible structures which may be excited into oscillations by the
wind. The excitation forces acting on cable supported bridges are aerodynamic by nature …

Predicting the phenomenon of aerodynamic instability is essential for the analysis and
design of long-span cable-supported bridges. This paper reviews the history and …

Structures in contact with fluid flow, whether natural or man-made, are inevitably subject to
flow-induced forces and flow-induced vibration: from plant leaves to traffic signs and to more …

The aerodynamic behavior of a bridge deck section model with a simple single-box shape
was characterized in wind tunnel. At large nose-up mean angles of attack, a torsional …

The work presents a new original experimental rig to more deeply investigate the
aerodynamic behaviour of long span suspension bridges. Set-up and model are designed to …

Aeroelastic coefficients (flutter derivatives) of bridge decks are routinely extracted from wind
tunnel section model experiments for the assessment of performance against wind loading …

Vortex-induced vibrations are not negligible while evaluating the aerodynamic and
aeroelastic behavior of a long-span suspension bridge. This kind of forcing, that can …

A new approach to deal with aerodynamic non-linearities in time domain has been
developed using a rheological mechanical model. The parameters of the rheological model …

The nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of a typical bluff bridge section, ie, open twin-side-girder
bridge deck, was investigated through a series of spring-suspended sectional model …

The non-linear aerodynamic effects on a bridge deck section are both experimentally and
numerically investigated using a new time-domain numerical model based on the …
