Wind Dynamic Response of a Suspension Pedestrian Bridge

Oana Mihaela Stan

Abstract


The paper presents wind dynamic response of a suspension pedestrian bridge. Dynamic response of the structure was obtained by performing two analyses: modal superposition (linear analysis) and direct integration of equation of motion (geometric nonlinear analysis). The aerodynamic instability of the suspension structure was studied too. All the analysis was carried out by LUSAS (FEM) program.
