Book Review of Vorticity Vibration Effects,Principles and Aerodynamic Control Measures for Large-Span Bridges

Abstract

With the rapid development of the world's economy and technology, bridge structures are developing in the direction of large spans. Large span means that the main girder of the bridge becomes longer, the whole bridge becomes more flexible, and the effect of the fluid, mainly wind, will be more obvious. Vortex Vibration Effects, Principles and Pneumatic Control Measures for Large-Span Bridges is a monograph in the field of wind engineering related to bridge structures written by Zhao Lin and Ge Yaojun of Tongji University (published by Tongji University Press) , which starts from the basic characteristics of vortex vibration of large-span bridges, the research progress and principles, and experimental situations, and puts forward the control countermeasures applicable to vortex vibration of a wide range of bridges and pneumatic control measures. This paper provides a brief introduction to the editors of the work, systematizes the chapter structure of the book, and explores its academic and theoretical values. The monograph shows how to apply the theory and mechanism related to vortex vibration of large-span bridges to practice, with a view to providing reference for workers and researchers in the fields of bridge structural wind engineering, disaster prevention and mitigation engineering.
