At present, some wind-induced vibration control methods have problems such as high cost and unsatisfactory results. For example, fixing the turbulence ribs to the outer wall of the clamp and then to the outer wall of the steel pipe requires longer clamps or multiple clamps if the steel pipe is long, which greatly increases the cost.
