ABSTRACT
Since the collapse of the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1941 much research has been focussed on the design of road decks that are secure against wind action. This paper reviews the development of aerodynamically stable deck configurations and the use of devices for improving the performance of large bridges as either retrofits or in original design. While it is the road deck that is the principal concern, attention is also directed in the presentation to means of suppressing the dynamic response of towers and cables in wind.
