Abstract: “S tay vibration events have been reported all over the world on cable - stayed bridges. Cable vibrations cause bridge users discomfo rt and may also lead to bridge collapse. Aim of this study is to investigate relevant cable vibration ph e nomena directly induced by wind, such as buffet - shedding, dry inclined galloping and rain wind induced vibrations. The results are presented in terms of r e quired necessary damping to control the dynamic stability of stays for a significant case study”
