Dams and Special Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Rain vibration of cables is becoming a matter of great concern recently in Japan for design and construction of cables-stayed- bridges. The features of rain vibration are the strong influence of rain on wind-induced oscillation of cable.

The performance of a cable-stayed bridge pylon under close-range blast loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recent bridge collapses have raised an awareness of, and a concern for, the safety and robustness of bridges subjected to blast loading scenarios. The incident pressure generated by the explosion can cause severe structural damage and a loss of critical ...

Vibration response of long cable-stayed timber footbridge – case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Timber footbridges with a span larger than 30 meters are sensitive to vibrations and dynamic factors must therefore be taken into considerations in the design.

Aerodynamic Behaviour of Very Long Cable-Stayed Bridges during Construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Stonecutters and Sutong Bridge have pushed the world record for main span length of cable-stayed bridges to over 1000m. The design of these bridges, both located in typhoon prone regions, is strongly influenced by wind effects during their erection ...
