The Angus L. Macdonald Bridge, a major suspension bridge that crosses Halifax Harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia, opened to traffic in 1955. The bridge deck has reached the end of its service life, and the design of the new bridge superstructure and its replacement sequence were completed in 2014. The entire suspended structure and hangers are now being replaced sequentially during night and weekend closures while the bridge is opened for traffic during the daytime. The erection sequence is supported by sophisticated automated erection analysis models which take into account the geometry of the existing bridge, positioning of the erection equipment on the deck, and hanger and strand jack adjustments that are required during construction. Significant wind tunnel testing and analysis have been performed to ensure aerodynamic stability of the bridge during erection and in its final condition.

On the basis of javelin wind tunnel experiment, we established mathematical model of javelin flight to conduct a computer optimization and got the conclusions. When the initial velocity is in the range of 25m/s-30m/s, the best throwing condition is: the throwing angle is 40°, the angle of attack is 11°. The javelin throwing condition is not zero angle of attack was necessary and sufficient for obtained aerodynamic efficiency.

This paper presents the results of investigation the separation buble which growing and burst on aerofoil NACA 0017 with effect mechanism of stall in the subsonic wind tunnel. Experiment have done on wind speed 20 m per s and 30 m per s. The data pecked from the orifice of pressure with interval 2 degree until stall position. The result was separation buble which growing on the airfoil, going to ahead of airfoil together with increasing the Reynolds number. After touching, the flow appeared to separate from the upper airfoil without reattachment.
