Abstract
Not only the whole bridge structure but each structural member of a bridge sometimes suffers wind-induced vibrations, causing not necessarily a fatal destruction but other consequences such as fatigue damages. In this chapter, these vibration problems and possible methods to control them are introduced. Also given is a brief description of adverse wind effects on traffic and pedestrians and their control.
