This paper presents a new experimental setup for the aerodynamic section model testing of
bridge decks. The rig is designed to move a section model in arbitrary motion in a wind …

A two dimensional model based on the superposition of Theodorsen's flat plate theory
generalized to approximate the aeroelastic effects on an arbitrary multi-box bridge girder is …

Abstract Development of time-efficient and reliable methods for estimating the aeroelastic
properties of bridge decks is of major importance for bridge engineers to make wind tunnel …

The present paper investigates the possibilities for avoiding classical flutter and static
divergence for very long-span suspension bridges with a novel, flexible, and lightweight …

Suspended bridges represent the most advantageous solution to afford the necessity for
covering very long spans. Due to their flexibility and their high length-to-width ratio, they are …

Aerodynamic derivatives are most often identified using bridge deck section models with
free or forced vibration tests. With the use of a recently developed experimental setup, the …

Since the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge more than 70 years ago suppressing wind-
induced instabilities has been a key aspect of the design of long-span bridges. The intensive …
