Abstract

Existing analysis procedures for the prediction of long-span bridge response to wind have until recently neglected the horizontal-vertical cross-spectral components of the wind under the assumption of quasi-homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. It has been shown that under atmospheric turbulence, the contributions of such cross-spectral components of wind are not insignificant. The paper presenta a comparison of the existing empirical formula for cross-spectral components and some field data recorded by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) at the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge, Maine.
