A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
In this introductory chapter, the meteorology of wind storms is first introduced to provide information on the key features of wind storms. The basic configuration, structural systems and aerodynamic characteristics of both cable‐stayed and suspension bridges are then described in order to facilitate understanding of aerodynamic phenomena and the performance of the bridges discussed in the subsequent chapters. Wind‐induced excessive vibration and damage to long‐span cable‐supported bridges are discussed, focusing on the lessons learnt from them by the engineering profession. Finally, the history of bridge wind engineering, particularly for cable‐supported bridges, is outlined in order to look back to the past and look forward to the future.
