The fourth in the series of international seminars organized by the University of Birmingham, UK and sponsored by the IAWE (International Association for Wind Engineering), will take place on Thursday 7th January 2021 at 12.00 noon UK time.
The seminar is entitled “Developments in Bridge Aerodynamics”. The program will be as follows.
Main Speaker: Prof John Owen, School of Engineering, University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, The Response of Bridges to Wind – Some Lessons from Monitoring Large Bridges
Short presentations:
Prof. Steve Cai, Louisiana State University, USA, Time domain simulation of turbulence effects on the aerodynamic flutter of long span bridges.
Prof. Claudio Mannini, University of Florence, Italy, Nonlinear modelling of self-excited forces for a long-span bridge under turbulent wind.
Prof. Ole Andre Øiseth, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Lessons learned from long-term wind and acceleration monitoring of the Hardanger Bridge.
Prof. Luca Caracoglia, Northeastern University, Boston, USA, Relevance of Uncertainty Quantification to Study Wind Load Variability and its Effects on Long-Span Bridge Aeroelasticity.
This is a tremendous achievement. The top researchers in the world, in the field of long-span bridge aerodynamics, will talk to an audience of experts and PhD students from around the world (usually 300 people), who will be connected via ZOOM.
Refer to seminar page for more information including instructions for seminar registration, abstracts of the talks and biographical details of the speakers, including Prof. Luca Caracoglia.
