Download or read book Aeroelastic Phenomena and Pedestrian-structure Dynamic Interaction on Non-conventional Bridges and Footbridges written by Claudio Borri and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-structure and pedestrian-structure interaction phenomena are extremely important for non-conventional bridges. The results presented in this volume concern: simplified formulas for flutter assessment; innovative structural solutions to increase the aeroelastic stability of long-span bridges; numerical simulations of the flow around a benchmark rectangular cylinder; examples of designs of large structures assisted by wind-tunnel tests; analytical, computational and experimental investigation of the synchronisation mechanisms between pedestrians and footbridge structures. The present book is addressed to a wide audience including professionals, doctoral students and researchers, aiming to increase their know-how in the field of wind engineering, bluff-body aerodynamics and bridge dynamics.
