Abstract
The Aerodynamics Laboratory at National Research Council Canada (NRC) is engaged in a multi-year project through its Climate Resilient Built Environment program to provide guidance and best practices for predictive environmental models for bridge-monitoring systems. In support of the objective to improve the accuracy of wind-monitoring systems, the NRC conducted a wind-tunnel study to measure the bridge-induced distortion to the wind vector in proximity to a bridge. Wind-velocity profiles were acquired in proximity to a 1:100-scale bridge model in the NRC 1.0 m × 0.8 m Pilot Wind Tunnel. The computer-aided design (CAD) geometry file for the 1:100-scale bridge model is available for download. This research data entry includes a descriptive document and a 3D CAD model.
