Abstract
The recently designed highway for by-passing the city of Talavera de la Reina in Spain is currently under construction. The main structural element in the project is a cable-stayed bridge which for sure will become a landmark in the region. The bridge has a main span of 318 m, comprising a concrete box deck 36 m width and a single inclined pylon 164 m high. The singularity of the bridge has recommended a comprehensive analysis regarding wind effects on the structure. The aerodynamic coefficients of the deck have been obtained from wind tunnel tests and they have also been computed using CFD software considering two different turbulence models. Also the flutter functions have been evaluated by means of sectional model tests and the flutter velocity has been obtained. It has been found that the bridge enjoys a safe design for wind actions.
