Emergency Evaluation of Large Amplitude Aerodynamic Stability Problem on the Cochrane Bridge
Publication: Forensic Engineering (2000)
Abstract
This paper describes the emergency inspection and evaluation of large amplitude vibration of cable stays on the Cochrane Bridge in Mobile, Alabama. Under specific weather conditions, some of the cable stays were observed to vibrate with amplitudes of over 1.5 m. The course of the emergency action in observing, documenting, and mitigating the aerodynamic stability problems on the Cochrane Bridge is described in this paper.
