Abstract:

With ever increasing span lengths of bridges thoroughly investigation of wind related phenomena has become more and more a topic of interest. Many effects were observed on already existing bridges and suitable theoretical models were developed. As bridges with such span lengths are becoming more and more a standard situation in bridge design and engineering, also the need for according design tools increases. In this article the necessary steps to expand existing models and to incorporate them into the design process is outlined. Practical examples for different aspects are discussed.
