The collapse of the First Tacoma Bridge in 1940 at a wind speed of about 18m/s triggered the need to recognize aerodynamic stability as a design constraint for long-span bridges. The advancement in understanding and modeling of dynamic wind effects has played a significant role in the realization of long-span bridges with a clear span of up to 2 km. However, the need to span longer, the risk of windstorms exceeding the strongest recorded in the past, and consequently, the quest for optimized design solutions continue to evolve.
A rigorous nature of aerodynamic stability analysis techniques poses a challenge to …
