Abstract:

'Wind resistant design manual for highway bridges in Japan' has been published in 1991. Before publication of this manual, there were no authorized wind resistant manuals which can be easily applied and cover most kinds of highway bridges. This paper reviews this new manual and reports on the practical application.
