SELECTED WIND AND BRIDGE MOTION DATA RECORDED AT LONG-SPAN BRIDGE SITES

Wind velocity and bridge motion data recorded at two long-span bridge sites are presented. Methods of data reduction are specified, and detailed and summary data are included. Wind velocity spectra are compared to theoretical models. Bridge motion data are shown as acceleration spectra and acceleration time histories. A project chronology and data base summary are also included.
