INVESTIGATION OF THE VIBRATIONAL BEHAVIOUR OF A CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE UNDER WIND LOADS

During the design stage of a new traffic bridge of the cable-stayed type an investigation has been carried out to determine the vibrational behaviour of the structure under wind loads. On a two-dimensional model wind tunnel experiments were carried out to establish the flutter stability of the bridge and to determine resonance vibrations due to vortex shedding. During construction of the actual bridge vibration measurements were performed and the wind-induced vibrational behaviour of the structure was observed.(a) (TRRL)
