Abstract
Abstract This paper concerns a solution to a critical pipe-line bridge-vibration problem. The answer to the problem resulted from the application of scientific research methods. As the first step toward a solution, careful measurements were made which laid bare the fundamental cause of the trouble. Following this, several possible solutions were conceived, and the most practical appearing one was selected for testing. Dynamic tests on models were made to verify the choice and to aid in full-scale design. Finally, a full-scale aerodynamic vibration damper was applied to the suspension bridge and the results checked by scientific measurements. The resulting solution for preventing vibration of suspension bridges is thought to be completely new, and the subject pipe-line bridge, the first of its kind to which it has been applied.
