Flutter characteristics of twin-box girder bridges with vertical central stabilizers [PDF]
Engineering Structures, 2017 Abstract It has been well known that Vertical Central Stabilizers (VCS) have the potential of improving flutter performance of long-span bridges. However, the fundamental flutter mechanisms of VCS are still not fully understood so far. In this study, a series of wind-tunnel tests involving the combination of six representative heights and four types ...
