Abstract:In large structures such as towers of suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges, we often need to suppress the wind-induced vibration for their safety. Especially in the construction stage, the structures are more flexible than the completed ones. This paper discusses the active dampers used to suppress the wind-induced vibration of a tower of a suspension bridge (The Kurushima Bridge 3P Tower) during the construction. The active damper was used to suppress the wind-induced vibration in multiple modes predict… Show more
