State-of-the-art contributions include rain-wind-induced cable vibration, wind-vehicle-bridge interaction, wind-induced vibration control, wind and structural health monitoring, fatigue analysis, reliability analysis, typhoon wind simulation, non-stationary and nonlinear buffeting response. Lastly, the theory is applied to the actual long-span cable-supported bridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStructured in an easy-to-follow way, covering the topic from the fundamentals right through to the state-of-the-art\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes advanced topics such as wind and structural health monitoring and non-stationary and nonlinear buffeting response\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGives a comprehensive description of various methods including CFD simulations of bridge and vehicle loading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses two projects with which the author has worked extensively, Stonecutters cable-stayed bridge and Tsing Ma suspension bridge, as worked examples, giving readers a practical understanding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990494134501,"sku":"NP9781118188286","price":225.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118188286.jpg?v=1761788051","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/wind-effects-on-cable-supported-bridges-isbn-9781118188286","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
