MODEL STUDY OF WINDBREAKS ON RAILWAY BRIDGES

How the effect of overturning moments caused by strong cross winds can be reduced by positioning barriers of suitable size and construction to shelter the rolling stock from winds. The report deals with a wind-tunnel comparison of various types of wind shield, and the eventual selection of two configurations which could be expected to give a suitable sheltering effect.
