Wind excited vibrations of slender structures such as towers, masts or certain types of bridges can be reduced using passive or active vibration absorbers. If there is av [...]

The partial investigations of orthotropic decks carried out in the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, v.v.i., in Prague for a project of the European Union â [...]

The paper deals with vortex-induced oscillations of footbridge hangers at a very low wind speed. The two-spans (2x50m) reinforced concrete structure with the central pylo [...]

Downtrend of the fundamental natural frequency of a structure with time, detected by periodical diagnostic in-situ measurements, can signal damage starting anywhere in th [...]

The authors have noticed the newest observations and few analysis of excitation mechanism. They suppose that the import knowledge of the forces frequencies of step or str [...]

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites (CFRC) represent a new structural element which could increase the strength and stiffness of steel plates. The steel and composite inte [...]

This paper describes the types of footbridges which theoretical and physical models are solved. The highly sensitivity to dynamic load is decreased due to ball vibration [...]
