About this title

Synopsis

Bridge Aeroelasticity: long-span suspension and cable-stayed bridges are currently of great interest, a fact reflected by an ever-increasing number of bridges being built over bays, straits and estuaries. Consequently, the authors deemed this an opportune time to write this book, which describes the current capabilities of analysis and design and is aimed at bridge design engineers and researchers, and brings together cogently information that hitherto could only be found in technical magazines.

About the Author

Jose Angel Jurado, Felix Nieto Mourante and Alejandro Mosquera Martinez are all professors in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Universidade da Coruna, Spain.

Santiago Hernandez Ibanez has been a professor of bridge engineering in the Dept of Civil Engineering at the Universidade da Coruna since 1993, where he is in charge of the aerodynamic wind tunnel. He has over 25 years of experience in teaching, research and writing on structural optimization and has also conducted research on the aeroelastic design of cable suspension bridges. Hernandez has worked on the structural restoration of buildings of historical importance, including a number of well known churches. Well known as a lecturer throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas and has been a pioneer in structural engineering education in Europe.
