Trang 23The primary concerns for long-span bridges for wind effects
Trang 24To design an optimized bridge deck configuration
satisfying the stability criteria for the design
wind speed, wind tunnel tests have
traditionally been carried out by changing deck configurations in an ad-hoc manner until the stability is assured After a decision has been reached regarding the optimized bridge deck configuration, detailed wind tunnel tests are
performed, which in some circumstances,
include estimates of the aerodynamic
derivatives for the aerodynamic stability
analysis and aerodynamic admittance functions for the serviceability analysis of the structure.
