Fluid-dynamic loads have a great influence on the design of many Civil Engineering
structures. In particular, circular sections are widely used in constructions, yet when it comes …

Undesirable wind induced vibrations of bridge cables can occur when atmospheric
conditions are such to generate ice accretion. This paper contains the results of an extensive …

In this paper, the aerodynamics of bridge cables with helical fillets and a pattern-indented
surface are examined. To this end, an extensive wind-tunnel test campaign was undertaken …

The prediction of galloping instability is usually based on a quasi-steady approach, in which
instantaneous wind forces are derived from the aerodynamic force coefficients obtained in …

For the assessment of aerodynamic instability of iced bridge cables various calculation
models are available. Input for these models are amongst others aerodynamic load …

Theoretical and experimental investigations to date have assumed that bridge cables can be
modeled as ideal circular cylinders and the associated aerodynamic coefficients are …

This paper examines the viability of modifying bridge cable shape and surface for the
purpose of controlling wind-induced vibrations. To this end, an extensive wind-tunnel test …

Theoretical and experimental investigations to date have assumed that bridge stay cables
can be modelled as ideal circular cylinders and that their aerodynamic coefficients are …

Despite much research in recent years, large amplitude vibrations of inclined cables
continue to be of concern for cable-stayed bridges. Various excitation mechanisms have …

In this paper, both experimental and numerical simulations of the effects of ice accretion on a
NACA 64-618 airfoil section with 7 angle of attack are presented. The wind tunnel tests were …
