Infos

As an in-depth guide to understanding wind effects on cable-supported bridges, this book uses analytical, numerical and experimental methods to give readers a fundamental and practical understanding of the subject matter. It is structured to systemically move from introductory areas through to advanced topics currently being developed from research work. The author concludes with the application of the theory covered to real-world examples, enabling readers to apply their knowledge.  The author provides background material, covering areas such as wind climate, cable-supported bridges, wind-induced damage, and the history of bridge wind engineering.

Rezensionen

"At over 700 pages long this is possibly the most comprehensive book to date on the subject, and I imagine it would be invaluable to the specialist consultant working on the design or structural health assessment of a long-span cable-supported bridge." (The Structural Engineer, 1 December 2015)
