Cable Vibrations in
Cable-Stayed Bridges

SED9 by Elsa de Sá Caetano provides a comprehensive survey on the governing phenomena of cable vibration, both associated with direct action of wind and rain. Methodologies for assessment of the effects of those phenomena are presented and illustrated by practical examples. Control of cable vibrations is discussed and state-of-art results on the design of passive control devices are presented. The book is complemented with case reports reflecting the practical approach shared by experienced designers and consultants.
