Effects of wind-loading on bridges Wind Loading Wind is a word that used to describe the motion of the air. It is the natural phenomenon which caused by temperature differential that is resulted from solar radiation. A moving wind that comes in contact with a solid structure will be distracted. Although the wind structure is not fully stopped‚ it still loses some of its velocity. This is due to the frictional force faced by the wind flow and the surface of the bridge. This phenomenon is actually
