Bridge Vibration

Autorentext

Yozo Fujino is President of Josai University and Professor Emeritus at both the University of Tokyo and Yokohama National University. He has made pioneering contributions in bridge dynamics and control, nonlinear vibration modeling, vibration control of cable-supported bridges, pedestrian-induced bridge vibrations, and the development of multiple tuned mass dampers and tuned liquid dampers. More recently, he has advanced vibration-based monitoring of long-span bridges and base-isolated buildings, with significant findings during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. He has published over 400 journal papers and 1,000 conference papers and serves on the editorial boards of 15 leading international journals. His distinguished honors include the Medal with Purple Ribbon (2007), Japan Academy (Nippon Gakushi-in) in 2025, and the Japan Academy Prize (2019), where he became only the seventh civil engineer to receive this award in its 109-year history. Internationally, he has received numerous ASCE awards (Raymond C. Reese Prize, Scanlan Medal, George Winter Medal, Moisseiff Award, Housner Medal), the T.Y. Lin Medal, Nishino Medal, and the International Award of Merit in Structural Engineering (IABSE) award, and delivered the Newmark Distinguished Lecture at UIUC in 2023. He has also served as President of the International Association of Structural Control and Monitoring, Vice President of IABSE, and President of the Asia-Pacific Network for Research in Smart Structures Technology.

Dionysius M. Siringoringo is IMS Professor of Safety and Resilience of Infrastructure at the Institute of Multidisciplinary Sciences, Yokohama National University, Japan. He received his PhD from the University of Tokyo, where he later served as an assistant professor. His research expertise is in bridge vibration, system identification, and structural health monitoring of bridges, as well as seismic and wind-induced vibration response analysis and control of long-span bridges. He has published hundreds of papers and has been involved in numerous research projects, including seismic and wind monitoring of long-span bridges in the Tokyo metropolitan area, studies on vehicle-bridge interaction under earthquakes and strong winds, seismic monitoring using wireless sensor networks, vision-based vibration measurement, pedestrian-induced bridge vibration, and seismic monitoring of base-isolated bridges. His work has been recognized with multiple awards, including the JSCE Tanaka Award for Best Paper, the IABSE Outstanding Scientific Research Paper Award, the Japan Association of Wind Engineering (JAWE) Award, the Takuji Kobori Award of the International Association of Structural Control and Monitoring (IASCM), and the ASCE Bridge Engineering Best Reviewer Award.

Klappentext

Bridge vibration has fascinated civil engineers since the pursuit of longer bridge spans began in the early twentieth century. As bridges became longer, lighter, and more flexible, engineers increasingly recognized the need for a deeper understanding of structural vibration and its effects on safety, serviceability, and durability.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of bridge vibrations, from theoretical principles and modeling to engineering applications. It draws on the research contributions of the authors, together with selected works by leading scholars and recent developments in the field. The book is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the fundamental theories of bridge vibration, with linear, nonlinear, and random vibrations as its core concepts. Part II discusses vibration mechanisms, analytical methodologies, and representative case studies involving vehicle-, train-, wind-, seismic-, and pedestrian-induced bridge vibrations, as well as cable vibrations in cable-supported bridges. Real-world case studies are included throughout to illustrate significant vibration events and practical engineering solutions.

Providing a self-contained and rigorous framework for understanding bridge vibrations, the book combines theoretical insight with robust analytical methods for advanced study and serves as a practical reference for engineers addressing vibration-related challenges in bridge engineering.
