Wind‐Vehicle‐Bridge Interaction

This chapter first discusses wind-road vehicle interaction, in which dynamic behavior and possible accidents involving road vehicles running on the ground and entering a sharp-edged crosswind gust are explored. The framework for performing dynamic interaction analysis between road vehicles and cable-supported bridges under crosswind is then presented, in which the ride comfort and safety of road vehicles running on the bridge under crosswind are evaluated. In a similar way, this chapter also presents a framework for simulating railway vehicle and track interaction under crosswind. Finally, the framework is extended to the dynamic interaction problem of a long-span cable-supported bridge with running trains subjected to crosswinds.
