ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: In the present paper, competences of frequency-domain approach for integrated computation of major wind actions on structures are outlined. It will be demonstrated, that these could all be analysed based on the same framework of spectral analysis and normal mode summation. The integrated analysis code, used as demonstrator, is put to practice in several medium to very long-span cable-stayed bridge projects. As wind-tunnel experiments and monitoring are done in parallel, rich set of conclusions is obtained. One of the main benefits the approach are reliability, overall efficiency of simulation, and possibility to extract equivalent static wind loads for design purposes.
