Impact of wind bora on Croatian highways and bridges

This paper describes problems caused by wind along highway section Sveti Rok Tunnel – Posedarje Interchange. Due to relief characteristics along this section (Velebit Mountain meets Adriatic coast) wind velocity and direction vary a lot. During the wintertime, northern to northeastern wind bora blows in this region reaching enormous wind velocities (for illustration this winter several times wind velocities exceeded 200 km/h).
