| Term: | full bridge model |
| Definition: |
a model of a long-span bridge that incorporates the entire bridge and often also models the dynamics of the bridge to allow observation of motion-induced aerodynamic forces {g: xqDesignSafeWind(undefined) | -} |
| Examples: | A full bridge model of a long-span bridge is often expensive and is done late in the design process after the bridge cross section has been studied using section model tests. |
