Full textAbstract:
To improve the flutter stability of a long-span suspension bridge with steel truss stiffening girder, two vertical stabilizers of which the total height reaches to approximately 2.9 m were planned to install on the deck. As the optimized girder presents the characteristics of a bluff body more, its vortex-induced vibration needs to be studied in detail. In this article, computational fluid dynamics simulations and wind tunnel tests are carried out. The vortex-shedding performance of the optimized girder is analyzed and the corresponding aerodynamic mechanism is discussed. Then, the static aerodynamic coefficients and the dynamic vortex-induced response of the bridge are tested by sectional models. The results show that the vertical stabilizers could make the incoming flow separate and induce strong vortex-shedding behind them, but this effect is weakened by the chord member on the windward side of the lower stabilizer. As the vortex-shedding performance of the optimized girder is mainly affected by truss members whose position relationships change along the bridge span, the vortex shed from the girder can hardly have a uniform frequency so the possibility of vortex-induced vibration of the bridge is low. The data obtained by wind tunnel tests verify the results by computational fluid dynamics simulations.

Wind loading of large suspension bridges produces a variety of structural responses, including the vortex-induced vibrations of the hangers. Because it is impractical to monitor each hanger, this study explores the possibility of assessing the presence of these vibrations indirectly by analyzing the responses elsewhere on the structure. To account for the time-varying nature of the wind velocity, it is necessary to use appropriate time–frequency analysis tools. The continuous wavelet transform and the short-term Fourier transform are used here to obtain clear correlations between the vortex shedding frequency and the energy content of the Hardanger Bridge responses. The analysis of recorded signals from a permanent monitoring system installed on the deck and a temporary system installed on some of the hangers shows that it is possible to indirectly detect hanger-related vortex-induced vibrations from the deck response. Furthermore, this study elaborates on the detection of the two types of vortex-induced vibrations (cross-flow and in-line), the spatial variability of the results, and a possibility to automate the detection process. The ideas reported can be implemented readily in existing structural health monitoring systems for large cable-supported structures not only to identify vortex-induced vibrations but also to gain a better understanding of their structural response.

Full textAbstract:
The dynamic response of a cable-stayed bridge that consists of a simply supported four-cable-stayed deck beam and two rigid towers, subjected to a distributed vortex shedding force on the deck beam with a uniform rectangular cross section, is studied in this work. The cable-stayed bridge is modeled as a continuous system, and the distributed vortex shedding force on the deck beam is modeled using Ehsan-Scanlan’s model. Orthogonality conditions of exact mode shapes of the linearized undamped cable-stayed bridge model are employed to convert coupled governing partial differential equations of the original cable-stayed bridge model with damping to a set of ordinary differential equations by using Galerkin method. The dynamic response of the cable-stayed bridge is calculated using Runge-Kutta-Felhberg method in MATLAB for two cases with and without geometric nonlinear terms. Convergence of the dynamic response from Galerkin method is investigated. Numerical results show that the geometric nonlinearities of stay cables have significant influence on vortex-induced vibration of the cable-stayed bridge. There are different limit cycles in the case of neglecting the geometric nonlinear terms, and there are only one limit cycle and chaotic responses in the case of considering the geometric nonlinear terms.

A fluid-structure interaction numerical simulation technique based on CFD has been developed to study the vortex-induced vibration behavior of steel arch bridge hanger. Above all, wind acting on bridge hanger is simulated by using Flunet and then vortex-induced dynamic motion of hanger is solved by method in the User Defined Function (UDF). Finally hanger’s transient vibration in wind is achieved by dynamic mesh method provided by Fluent. Using this technique, the vortex-induced vibration behavior of hanger of the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge is analyzed, including vibration amplitude, vibration-started wind speed and vortex shedding frequency. The study also considers influences of different section type (rectangle, chamfered rectangle and H) of hanger. The following conclusions are obtained. Firstly hanger of different section has different vibration behavior. Secondly vibration-started wind speed of different section hanger differs with each other. Thirdly relation between vibration amplitude and incoming wind speed varies obviously. At the same time, numerical results are compared with those of one wind tunnel test and the out coming is satisfied. Relation between vibration amplitude and wind speed in both numerical simulation and wind tunnel test is similar because vibration-started wind speed in numerical result has only 10% discrepancy with that in wind tunnel test while vibration amplitude’s discrepancy is only 15%. Consequently, analysis results show the reliability of this numerical simulation technique.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of bridges, related to fluid-structure interaction and maintenance of bridge monitoring system, causes fatigue and serviceability problems due to aerodynamic instability at low wind velocity. Extensive studies on VIV have been performed by directly measuring the vortex shedding frequency and the wind velocity for indicating the largest girder displacement. However, previous studies have not investigated a prediction of wind velocity to raise VIV with a various natural frequency of the structure because most cases have been focused on the estimation of the wind velocity and peeling-off frequency by the mounting structure at the fixed position. In this paper, the method for predicting wind velocity to raise VIV is suggested with various natural frequencies on a road-rail bridge with truss-shaped girder. For this purpose, 12 cases of dynamic wind tunnel test with different natural frequencies are performed by the resonance phenomenon. As a result, it is reasonable to predict wind velocity to raise VIV with maximum RMS displacement due to dynamic wind tunnel tests. Furthermore, it is found that the natural frequency can be used instead of the vortex shedding frequency in order to predict the wind velocity on the dynamic wind tunnel test. Finally, curve fitting is performed to predict the wind velocity of the actual bridge. The result is shown that predicting the wind velocity at which VIV occurs can be appropriately estimated at arbitrary natural frequencies of the dynamic wind tunnel test due to the feature of Strouhal number determined by the shape of the cross section.

Full textAbstract:
With the increasing span of suspension bridges, the towers have higher heights and have become more flexible, and so do the nearby suspenders. Not only are the towers easy to be affected by winds, but also the nearby suspenders by the wake flow of the towers. To enhance the structural stiffness, a bridge tower may be designed with more columns, but this design may lead to strong aerodynamic interference among the columns, complicating the wind-induced behaviors of the tower and nearby suspenders. In this paper, wind tunnel tests and numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the vortex-induced vibration of a tall bridge tower with four columns, and the wake effects on nearby suspenders. The results show that the displacement response at the tower top increases with the increasing wind speed. No obvious lock-in region is observed, as different cross-sections of the tower show different vortex shedding characteristics. The vortex shedding characteristics are determined mainly by the aerodynamic forces acting on the leeward columns. In the wake of the tower, the aerodynamic forces of the suspenders have the same dominant frequencies as the shedding frequencies of the vortices from the tower. The frequencies may approach the natural frequencies of the suspenders, causing possible wake-induced vibration that should be avoided for a good design.

The Penang Second Bridge is a new bridge under construction in Penang, Malaysia. The aerodynamic behavior of the bridge was one of the main concerns. This paper summarizes of the wind tunnel testing of the 1:40 scaled aeroelastic model testing for the free standing tower. The wind tunnel Investigations were carried out with the objective of verifying the detailed design of bridge towers through measurement of the buffeting response to turbulent wind, susceptibility to galloping instabilities and susceptibility to vortex shedding excitation in smooth oncoming flow.The test results show that explicit vortex-induced vibration was observed for the completed free standing tower, however it will not affect the safety of the tower, and the buffeting response of tower is within acceptable range under the designed wind speed.

Full textAbstract:
The dynamic stability of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of circular cylinders has been well investigated. However, there have been few studies on this topic for bridge decks. To fill this gap, this study focuses on the dynamic stability of a VIV system for bridge decks. Some recently developed techniques for nonlinear dynamics are adopted, for example, the state space reconstruction and Poincare mapping techniques. The dynamic stability of the VIV system is assessed by combining analytical and experimental approaches, and a typical bridge deck is analyzed as a case study. Results indicate that the experimentally observed hysteresis phenomenon corresponds to the occurrence of saddle-node bifurcation of the VIV system. Through the method proposed in this study, the evolution of dynamic stability of the VIV system versus wind velocity is established. The dynamic characteristics of the system are further clarified, which offers a useful clue to understanding the VIV system for bridge decks, while providing valuable information for mathematical modeling.

Full textAbstract:
To investigate the spanwise correlation of vortex-induced forces (VIF) of a typical section of a streamlined box girder, wind tunnel tests of simultaneous measurement of force and displacement responses of a sectional model were conducted in a smooth flow. The spanwise correlation of VIF and pressure coefficients on the measurement points of an oscillating main deck were analyzed in both the time domain and frequency domain, respectively. The research results indicated that the spanwise correlation of VIF and pressure coefficients on the measurement points were related to the amplitudes of vortex-induced vibration (VIV), both of them weakened with the increase of spanwise distance; the maximum value of spanwise correlation coefficient is situated at the ascending stage of the lock-in region, rather than at the extreme amplitude point. The amplitudes of VIV showed different impacts on the spanwise correlation of pressure coefficients on the measurement points of the upper and lower surfaces, for which the maximum value of the spanwise correlation coefficients is located at the extreme amplitude point and the ascending stage of the lock-in region, respectively. Furthermore, the spanwise correlation of the pressure coefficients decreases continually from the upstream to downstream of the main deck; large coherence of vortex-induced forces and pressure appears around the frequency of vortex shedding, and the coherence of VIF and pressure becomes smaller with the increase in the spanwise distance.

The work includes the results of an extended wind tunnel experimental campaign on a bridge deck sectional model for different configurations. Wind tunnel tests were carried out in smooth flow in absence and presence of two different typologies of lateral traffic barriers, differing from each other in terms of amount and distribution of the openings. Static force measurements and aeroelastic tests were performed for all geometric layouts of the deck for different values of the angle of attack. The effects produced by geometric details like barriers and angle of attack variation are discussed. Test results were also employed to calibrate and discuss two mathematical approaches for VIV modeling.

<p>Arches are the most prominent architectural feature of tied-arch bridges and offer a dramatic visual impact. Arches rarely exhibit aerodynamic instabilities once tied to the bridge deck; however, during construction they typically have low fundamental frequencies, low inherent structural damping and low mass. This combination makes them especially vulnerable to wind-induced vibrations. The three-dimensionality of the arch shape is best examined through aeroelastic model wind tunnel testing as opposed to sectional model based approaches. In many cases vortex-induced oscillations have been observed for certain discrete stages of arch construction. In some cases, the loads induced by these vortex-induced oscillations can be tolerated by the structure; however, in other cases the responses can be sufficiently large that they must be prevented. Therefore, to prevent vortex-induced oscillations of the arches during construction, different damping strategies have been employed. Two practical methods that have been recently deployed include: (i) an in- line cable damper attached by a cable to the arch and anchored to a firm foundation, and (ii) tuned mass dampers (TMD). In this paper a background on the sources of wind-induced vibrations is presented along with methods to predict the response followed by several mitigation strategies.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, the violent wind-induced vibration, including “rain-wind induced vibration” and “dry-galloping”, of stay-cables of cable-stayed bridges has become the most serious issue for bridge design. Up-to-date, the major factors for excitation of inclined cables have been clarified to be, for “rain-wind” induced vibration, the formation of “water-rivulet” on the particular position of upper cable surface, and, for “dry galloping”, the “axial flow” which flows in the near wake along cable-axis, and the effect of drag-force associated with Reynolds number, separately. However, the details of the effect of “axial flow” remain unsolved. Thus, this study aims to clarify the effect of axial flow in near wake on the aero-elastic vibration of inclined cables basing on various experiments. The mean velocity of axial flow was almost 60% of approaching wind velocity. Furthermore, the aerodynamic effect of the “axial flow” on cross-flow vibration of inclined cables is discussed in relation to the mitigation of Karman vortex shedding in near wake. Since the role of axial flow seems to be similar to the splitter plate installed in wake from the point of mitigation of Karman vortex shedding, to clarify the cross-flow response in relation to the mitigation of Karman vortex, the perforated ratio of the splitter plate was variously changed, then the similarity of effect of axial flow and the one of splitter plate was verified comparing their unsteady lift force-characteristics. In summary, it is shown that the axial flow on aerodynamic cross-flow vibration might excite like galloping similarly with the splitter plate by mitigation of Karman vortex.
