Sentence examples for reducing bridge from inspiring English sources
Other policies, like reducing bridge tolls that do not help improve traffic flow, could help buffer the economic impact.
A coupled model, describing the bridge structure excited by aeroelastic wind forces and equipped with harvesting devices mounted along the bridge girder, is derived by reducing bridge dynamics via a modal analysis.
Numerical results from simply supported bridges of Taiwan High-Speed Railway (THSR) under German I.C.E., Japanese S.K.S. and French T.G.V. trains show that the proposed PTMD is a useful vibration control device in reducing bridge vertical displacements, absolute accelerations, end rotations and train accelerations during resonant speeds, as the train axle arrangement is regular.
The report concludes that tolls could contribute more than $500 million a year to city revenues, reduce bridge traffic by about 25percentt and cut down on congestion in areas of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens where vehicles approach the bridges.
An optimal solution is one with low floodplain access (i.e. few built encroachments) and reduced bridge scour.

In an effort to reduce bridge lifecycle costs, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has developed new design method aimed at the elimination of expansion joints.
The bridge-friendly damping control strategy is shown to reduce bridge dynamics across a typical range of vehicle velocities, proving most effective for road profiles that induce large vibrations in the vehicle bridge system.
Gan et al. [56] studied the possibility of using tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) to reduce bridge-borne vibration and noise.
