Vibration Control for Bridge Girders

  • Chapter
Wind Resistant Design of Bridges in Japan

Abstract

Wind-induced vibration of bridge girders needs to be considered as a part of the wind resistant design procedure in order to avoid unfavorable wind actions such as the collapse of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. The wind-induced vibration of bridge girders can be classified into the following three types
