Abstract:
Earthquakes often cause bridges to vibrate to different degrees; moreover, in the case of poor road conditions, the vibration amplitude of bridges caused by vehicles often exceeds a reasonable range, thus causing different degrees of damage to bridges. Therefore, this article studies the vibration reduction effect of the pounding tuned mass dampers (PTMD) on long-span continuous bridges under earthquake and vehicle loads. The PTMD used in this study can reduce the vibration in both lateral and vertical directions. The PTMD provides a stronger vibration dampening effect compared to the TMD since it increases collision to use energy. The LS-DYNA software is used for numerical modeling to optimize the parameters of the PTMD and to determine the size and installation position of the PTMD. Then, the bridge is subjected to two recorded ground motions, and the bridge response with and without the PTMD is compared and analyzed, which shows how PTMD might lessen bridge vibration in its transverse direction. To assess how efficiently the PTMD dampens vibrations induced by vehicle loads on bridges, a vehicle/bridge/PTMD system is simulated using a refined vehicle model. The findings demonstrate that the PTMD may significantly lessen the bridge’s lateral and vertical vibration while enhancing driving comfort. Thus, this research study is of great significance for vertical and lateral vibration control of long-span continuous girder bridges.

Abstract:
In cable-stayed bridges, modelling the cables is of particular significance for the seismic behaviour of the structure. The common practice of modelling a cable by a single truss element is inadequate for seismic response calculations because it essentially precludes the lateral cable vibration modes. The present paper studies the influence of cable vibrations on the seismic response of cable-stayed bridges. Three bridge examples with different spans and properties were used. Cable vibrations are accounted for through the use of multiple links for each cable. Cable vibration effects are found to be significant for seismic response calculations, particularly when the cable fundamental frequencies are overlapping with the first few frequencies of the bridge. Parametric studies are conducted with regard to the number of links per cable, the effect of the modulus of elasticity of the cables, and different earthquakes on the bridge response. Modelling the cables by two links per cable such that at least the fundamental modes of the cable vibrations are represented can significantly account for the effect of cable vibrations. It is also observed that the equivalent modulus method cannot in any way account for the cable vibration effects. Key words: cable vibration, dynamic analysis, equivalent modulus, multiple links, seismic response, cable-stayed bridge.

Abstract:
Low frequency noise radiated from highway bridges due to fast moving heavy vehicles, is giving rise to a new traffic problem. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to consider the reduction of noise and control of bridge vibrations. In this research, measurements of low frequency noise radiated from highway bridges and measurements of bridge vibration were carried out. From these results, the radiation efficiency of the slabs of the highway bridges was determined. Four types of bridge were measured, steel composite girder bridges, steel plate girder bridges, steel truss bridges and PC-girder (T) bridges. From experimental formulae for the radiation efficiency, and from vibration acceleration levels, the sound pressure levels and 1/3 octave band spectra of the low frequency noise radiated from the slabs were predicted. As a result, the sound pressure level at an arbitrary point can be predicted by measuring the vibration acceleration level of the bridge. Predictive calculation results agreed relatively well with measured values, particularly at locations close to the bridges.

Abstract:
When studying the vibration of a bridge–vehicle coupled system, most researchers mainly focus on the vertical vibration of bridges under moving vehicular loads, while the lateral and longitudinal vibrations of the bridges and the stochastic characteristics of the traffic flows are neglected. However, for long-span suspension bridges, neglecting the bridge’s three-dimensional (3D) vibrations under stochastic traffic flows can cause considerable inaccuracy in predicting the dynamic performance. This study is mainly focused on establishing a new methodology fully considering a suspension bridge’s vertical, lateral, and longitudinal vibrations induced by stochastic traffic flows under varied road roughness conditions. A new full-scale vehicle model with 18 degrees of freedom (DOFs) was developed to predict the longitudinal and lateral vibrations of the vehicle. An improved Cellular Automaton (CA) model considering the influence of the next-nearest vehicle was introduced. The bridge and vehicles in traffic flow coupled equations are established by combining the equations of motion of both the bridge and vehicles using the displacement relationship and interaction force relationship at the patch contacts. The numerical simulations show that the proposed method can rationally simulate the 3D vibrations of the suspension bridge under stochastic traffic flows.

Abstract:
Due to large flexibility in cable-stayed bridges, vibrations induced by seismic, traffic and wind loads are more significant than those in other types of bridges. These vibrations may cause structural damage, such as fatigue in stay cables, large deflection in main girder, etc. The objective of this paper is to investigate long-term dynamic characteristics of the Kao Ping Hsi cable-stayed bridge subjected to different external force conditions by using a bridge health monitoring system (BHMS). The bridge has been bearing the loads of traffic for more than a decade. To ensure the safety of the Bridge, the Bureau has developed a BHMS for the long-term monitoring of the overall structural safety over the entire operation stage in terms of seismic response, wind resisting response and cable vibration, as well as travel comfort. The BHMS will provide multi-alarm information for the study of bridge safety management and maintenance in relation to seismic activities, wind vibration and traffic.

Abstract:
Nowadays, vehicle-induced vibration is a subject matter interest in the bridge monitoring field. As compared to other types of excitation such as earthquake and accidental impact, the vehicle-induced vibration is often being less considered during the design process of the bridge. The newly implemented code also does not emphasize on the vibration check for vehicular bridge and requires the engineers to refer to other “unnamed literature” if they would want to consider vibration check during the design process. However, in recent years there were few reported cases of road users experiencing the excessive vibration when they travelled on certain bridges, therefore raising concern among the bridge designer community the need for vibration check. This paper reviews several conducted researches on vehicle-induced vibration on the real bridge, the methodologies adopted and the outcome from each research. While there are extensive research been conducted on the real bridge, this review is limited to the conducted research into the different categories of bridges. Vehicle- induced vibration usually used for modal testing of the vehicular bridges and is chosen due to the flexibility offered by this method as type of excitation. Most of the researchers focused on the vibration by the vehicle of common bridge while less researches for the integral type. In the context of the integral bridge construction in Malaysia, bored pile is widely being used rather than H-type piles for integral bridges. Hence, there is a need for further exploration on the combination of integral type bridges with the bored pile foundation to assess their dynamic characteristics.

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of vibroacoustic tests of a plate girder railway bridge consisting of two parallel dilated structures and a common ballast trough. The requirements currently set for railway bridges relate to, among others, vibrations considered as one of the criteria for traffic safety and to noise emissions that may pose a threat to the environment. In this article, the results of tests conducted on vibrations of elements of the analyzed structure are presented, and the level of these vibrations in terms of meeting the requirements of the European standards is assessed. Vibrating criteria of structure performance were checked, and safety was assessed. The results of noise measurements in the vicinity of the analyzed bridge are also presented, and the environmental impact of this structure is determined. The test results show that the bridge meets the requirements for vibration acceleration and noise. An increased acoustic emission in the analyzed case does not pose a significant threat, but if this type of structure was on high supports in an urbanized area, it would be a nuisance to the environment.

The liquid bridge was vibrated by tapping its upper disk and by using a motor placed nearby. Experiments were conducted for isothermal liquid bridges of silicone oil (5 cSt) with a disk diameter of 7.0 mm. By subjecting the liquid bridge to small vibrations, the characteristics of vibration-induced surface oscillation have been clearly determined.

Abstract:
An active mass damper (AMD) was developed that uses a linear motor and coil spring to reduce the vertical vibration of a long-period cable-stayed bridge subjected to wind and earthquake loads. A scaled-down bridge model and AMD were fabricated, and the control effect of the AMD was investigated experimentally and analytically. The AMD was controlled via a linear quadratic Gaussian algorithm, which combines a linear quadratic regulator and Kalman filter. The dynamic properties were investigated using a 1/10 scale indoor experimental model, and the results confirmed that the measured and analytical accelerations were consistent. A vibrator was used to simulate the wind-induced vibration, and the experimental and analytical results were consistent. The proposed AMD was confirmed to damp the free vibration and harmonic load and increase the damping ratio of the bridge model from 0.17% to 9.2%. Finally, the control performance of the proposed AMD was numerically investigated with the scaled-down bridge model subjected to the El Centro and Imperial Valley-02 earthquakes. These results were compared with those of a TMD, and they confirmed that the proposed AMD could reduce excessive vertical vibrations of long-period cable-stayed bridges subjected to wind and earthquakes.

Abstract:
There are large amounts of small-and medium-span girder bridges which bear structural similarity, while the large-scale bridge structures are generally limited in the timely applications of structural vibration characteristics. Therefore, in this study a framework based on machine learning models was proposed to analyze the vibration characteristics of specific line bridge groups. The probability distributions of structural, geometric, and material properties of bridge groups in specific lines were obtained using statistical tools and a Latin hypercube sampling method was used to generate reasonable sample sets for the bridges group, and parameterized finite element models of the bridges were established. Then, the optimal models were tuned and determined to predict fundamental mode and period by the 10-fold cross-validation method applying the numerical simulation results. This study’s results showed that the random forest models divided the vibration modes of the bridge groups into the longitudinal vibrations of the main girders and the longitudinal vibrations of the adjacent spans and side piers with a classification accuracy of greater than 90%, while the artificial neural network models exhibited the lowest normalized mean square error for the periods. The periods mainly ranged between 0.7 and 1.5 s. Furthermore, the bearing settings, ratios of the pier height to section diameters, and boundary types were determined to be the most significant properties influencing the fundamental modes and periods of the examined bridges, by respectively observing the reduced value of the random forest Gini indices and distribution of the generalized weight value of the input variables in artificial neural networks. This study provides an intelligent and efficient method for obtaining vibration characteristics of bridges group for a specific network.

Abstract:
Vibration induced by walking pedestrians has motivated research in the civil engineering community for many years. An area within this broad field that has received particular attention is the dynamic interaction that can occur between pedestrians and laterally flexible bridge structures. Perhaps the most notable example occurring on the opening day of London's Millennium Bridge. The enduring interest in this research problem is fuelled by two of its key features; (i) the sensitivity and adaptability of human balance to lateral motion and (ii) the spatial and temporal variation in flow characteristics exhibited by a pedestrian crowd. Both of these features are addressed herein. In this project an experimental campaign was executed with the aim of identifying the interaction mechanism by which pedestrians produce force harmonics, that resonate with the oscillating structure on which they walk. These so-called self-excited forces have been experimentally identified by others but the underlying reason for their existence has remained an open question. In an effort to address this, human balance behaviour while walking on a laterally oscillating treadmill was recorded using 3-dimensional motion capture equipment. Subsequent analysis revealed that human response to sinusoidal base motion is dominated by periodic alteration of foot placement position. This produces amplitude modulation of the lateral component of the ground reaction force and is ultimately responsible for the self-excited force harmonics. It was further revealed that human centre of mass motion while walking on an oscillating structure is predominantly passive. The passive inverted pendulum model is thus an excellent model of pedestrian frontal plane balance. The second facet of this work is concerned with developing a crowd-structure interaction model that builds upon the current state of the art. The model presented utilises the understanding of human-structure interaction identified above and employs an agent-based modelling approach. Thus, the resulting 'virtual crowd' is capable of simulating key crowd features, such as inter-subject variability and emergent velocity-density flow behaviour. Using this model, it is shown that the experimentally identified human-structure interaction mechanism can lead to large amplitude lateral deck oscillations, consistent with field observations reported in the literature. The model successfully predicts the multi-mode instability of Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge in the absence of step frequency tuning among the crowd. This provides supporting evidence for the model's validity. The work described above has resulted in a clearer understanding of the feedback between pedestrian balance behaviour and bridge response. Furthermore, the modelling techniques developed have potential for application in the wider study of crowd-induced vibration of dynamically susceptible structures.

Abstract:
The focus on the condition and performance of existing structures has increased due to the growing number of structures approaching or exceeding their design life. The challenges associated with the assessment of existing structures include deterioration, changes in loading conditions, changes in the structures function or the structure reaching the latter portion of its designed service life. In order for authorities to better determine how to deal with existing structures, there must be a coherent means of determining, measuring and benchmarking the current condition and performance of the structure. The current study proposes and demonstrates the integration of a visual based condition assessment with vibration based assessment techniques for railway bridges. The methodology suggests a systematic visual assessment combined with the development of a finite element model which is calibrated by using modal parameters ascertained from vibration based testing. The bridge which was used as a case study was the Kalbaskraal Railway Bridge located in Malmesbury. The proposed methodology consists of the following steps: 1) Initial Assessment 2) Development of a Finite Element Model 3) Detailed assessment and Ambient Vibration Field Testing 4) Analysis of Modal Parameters 5) Calibration of FEM using Modal Parameters 6) Setting up Load Configurations 7) Assessment of structural response 8) Assessment of Serviceability limit state of bridge The overall outcome of the study yielded an effective result in that the conclusions drawn from the outcomes of the methodology correlated well with previous studies on the bridge. The structure under its current operational load of 16ton/axle wagons performed within the allowable serviceability limit state. A proposed increase to 22.5ton/axle loads identified that the bridge would be performing on the boundary or above the allowable serviceability limit state and that retrofitting may have to be considered for the bridge to effectively support the additional load. The results derived from this study can be extremely valuable in the bridge management process as the information on the condition of the bridge can aid bridge authorities in their decision making processes.

Abstract:
In the present work, the non-linear vibrations and the corresponding dynamic fracture mechanics of cables of cable-stayed bridges are studied. The cables are among the most critical components in cable-stayed bridges and there are different damage sources such as corrosion, vibration, fatigue and fretting fatigue that can significantly affect them, thereby reducing the cable’s service life and even producing their failure. Cable-Parametric Resonance is the specific non-linear vibration studied in this research. This type of vibration occurs due to displacements presented at the cable supports. These displacements are induced by the wind and traffic loads acting on the pylon and deck of the bridge. Under certain conditions, unstable cable-vibration of significant amplitude can be registered. Therefore, numerical and experimental analyses are carried out in order to describe this phenomenon and to determine the corresponding instability conditions. Two non-linear models of cable-parametric resonance are studied to predict the cable response. In the simulation method, the non-linear components are treated as external forces acting on the linear systems, which are represented by Single Degree of Freedom systems and described by digital filters. A clear non-linear relationship between the excitation and the cable response is observed in the simulations and the experiments. The corresponding experimental analysis is based on a scaled model (1:200) of the Öresund bridge and a good agreement between the numerical and experimental results is found. After obtaining the relationship between the cable response and the excitation, the cable instability conditions are determined. This is done by finding the minimum displacement required at the cable supports in order to induce nonlinear cable vibration of considerable amplitude. The instability conditions are determined within a wide range of excitation frequencies and conveniently expressed in a simplified and practical way by a curve. The determination process is rather fast and offers the possibility to evaluate all bridge cable stays in a rather short time. Finally, the dynamic fracture mechanics of the cable is considered by studying the fracture toughness characteristics of the material under dynamic conditions. Finite Element simulations on a pre-cracked three-point bending specimen under impact loading are performed. The observed cable instability is equivalently considered as the associated response to impact load conditions, and a crack as a defect on the wires of a cable stay. The simulations are based on an experimental work by using the Split Hopkinson pressure bar (Jiang et al). The dynamic stress intensity factor KI(t) up to crack initiation is then obtained by different methods. The numerical estimations based on the specimen’s crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and mid-span displacement were closest to the experimental results. It is observed that a better estimation of the dynamic stress intensity factor relies on a proper formulation of the specimen’s stiffness.

Abstract:
Theoretical studies of vehicle-bridge interactions have been conducted extensively, but a relatively much smaller amount of work concerns experimental studies of this problem. Full-scale tests of vehicle-bridge vibrations can be done to estimate the performance of the vehicle-bridge system or validate theoretical models, but are expensive compared with small-scale experiments in a lab. In addition, continuous bridges are paid relatively much less attention compared with simply supported bridges in the literature. This thesis is dedicated to the theoretical and the laboratory experimental studies of a four-span continuous plate structure subjected to moving cars. Firstly, the mode shapes of a multi-span continuous beam are approximated by using a number of sinusoidal functions which are the mode shapes of the beam with simply supported boundaries. The analytical solution of the continuous beam subjected to a moving force can be derived as one simple expression for the whole length of the beam based on the approximated modes, and the contributions of bridge frequencies to the modal responses of the beam would be clearly shown in the analytical solution, which can provide guidance for identifying the modal properties of the beam. This idea is illustrated by a two-span beam. The response of a simple beam subjected to a moving force is compared with that of a two-span continuous beam. The second part of this thesis is about the vehicle-bridge interaction and separation, which are investigated by using the moving sprung mass model. After that, a general approach of simulating vehicle-bridge interactions is applied to a four-span plate structure traversed by one or two moving cars at different speeds. There are two types of situations for two cars: the two cars are either separated or connected together with pitching rotation allowed for each car. The adjacent loads of two-connected-cars are almost equal distance away from each other, which is like a series of moving equidistant loads. A Laser Vibrometer is used to measure the car speeds, and four laser displacement transducers at each span are utilized to capture the structural responses. The theoretical model of the rig is updated and validated with experimental results. A frequency spectrum analysis of measured structural displacements and an in-depth parametric analysis based on the validated theoretical model are carried out.

Abstract:
Constructed in 1983, the Portage Creek Bridge is a three span highway bridge located in Victoria, British Columbia (BC), Canada. This bridge is a part of a smart seismic monitoring program, British Columbia Smart Infrastructure Monitoring System (BCSIMS), which funded by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI), Canada. The BCSIMS aims to continuously monitor the seismic conditions of the selected bridges on lifeline highways in British Columbia, and as part of this goal, an ambient vibration test was carried out on the bridge in September 2014 in order to update/calibrate the finite element model of the bridge in SAP2000. The updated model was then used to assess the seismic performance of the bridge in accordance with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, 2015. Nonlinear time-history analysis was performed using a finite element model with concentrated plasticity, and results were compared with the performance criteria specified in the code. This thesis presents the overall procedure of the seismic evaluation, as well as the relevant theoretical background and discussion of analysis results.

Abstract:
This thesis reports the findings of an investigation into the feasibility of using vibration characteristics to monitor the structural health of bridges. The study is the second part of a larger project commissioned by the UK Highways Agency into the investigation of possible monitoring methods that can be used in a pass/fail/monitor inspection programme. To this end, ten one-quarter-scale 5m span reinforced concrete bridge decks were fabricated and loaded incrementally to failure in the laboratory. The dynamic properties of the decks were investigated at each of the loading increments to evaluate their sensitivity to structural cracking using both free and forced vibration. The results indicated that, for the specimens tested, natural frequencies were, in general, more sensitive to the damage introduced than mode shapes. It was found that the support conditions affected the dynamic behaviour of the decks, and indeterminate boundary conditions caused significant variation in the vibration characteristics. This presented several problems in the analysis of the modal properties and, when combined with the damage introduced through static loading, caused some modes to disappear and new modes to be measured, whilst a number of modes also displayed an increase in natural frequency. The application of finite element model updating to determine reduction in flexural stiffness in the damaged areas of the deck provided a systematic method to investigate the condition of the deck. Updating was performed based on the natural frequencies of one symmetrically and one asymmetrically loaded deck, and the cracking observed under the loading, and offered results consistent with expectations. In summary, the evidence presented in this thesis suggests that the natural frequencies of the decks are, in general, more sensitive to the damage introduced than the mode shapes and consistent trends can be observed in the natural frequency change as the damage to the deck increases. However, the application of this method to indicate the structural condition of real bridges may be limited without further investigation as the vibration characteristics were affected by a number of factors arising from the realistic nature of the specimen, such as the three-dimensional distribution of the damage and the indeterminate nature of the support conditions.

Abstract:
<p>The fifty years of experience of construction of cable-stayed bridges since their establishment as a new category among the classical types have brought an immense progress, ranging from design and conception to materials, analysis, construction, observation and retrofitting. The growing construction of cable-stayed bridges has also triggered researchers’ and designers’ attention to the problem of cable vibrations. Intensive research has been developed all over the world during the last two decades as a consequence of the numerous cases of cable vibrations exhibited by all types of cable-stayed bridges.<p>Despite the increased knowledge of the various vibration phenomena, most of the outcomes and research results have been published in journals and conference proceedings and scarce information is currently provided by the existing recommendations and codes. <p>The present book provides a comprehensive survey on the governing phenomena of cable vibration, both associated with direct action of wind and rain: buffeting, vortex-shedding, wake effects, rain-wind vibration; and resulting from the indirect excitation through anchorage oscillation: external and parametric excitation. Methodologies for assessment of the effects of those phenomena are presented and illustrated by practical examples. Control of cable vibrations is then discussed and state-of-art results on the design of passive control devices are presented. <p>The book is complemented with a series of case reports reflecting the practical approach shared by experienced designers and consultants: Yves Bournand (VSL International), Chris Geurts (TNO), Carl Hansvold (Johs. Holt), Allan Larsen (Cowi) and Randall Poston (WDP & Associates).

Abstract:
Abstract In large structures such as towers of suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges, we often need to suppress the wind-induced vibration for their safety. Especially in the construction stage, the structures are more flexible than the completed ones. This paper discusses the active dampers used to suppress the wind-induced vibration of a tower of a suspension bridge (The Kurushima Bridge 3P Tower) during the construction. The active damper was used to suppress the wind-induced vibration in multiple modes predicted by wind-tunnel test. The controller design of the dampers is based on an H∞ robust control theory. At each erection step, we measured the dynamic properties of the towers to adjust the parameters of the controller using the active dampers as vibration exciters. The measured dynamic properties of the active controlled structures are compared with those of a non-controlled structure. The analysis of free vibration shows the suppression performance of active damper as expected in the controller design.

Abstract:
<p>Along with building slender and longer span structures, vibration serviceability becomes more important considerations in bridge design and maintenance. In this study, vibration serviceability and deflection limit for long span cable bridges are investigated using long-term monitoring data such as accelerations and displacements of bridges. Exampled bridges are Yi Sun-Sin Grand Bridge (suspension bridge, main span length=1,545m) and 2<sup>nd</sup> Jindo Grand Bridge (cable stayed bridge, main span length=344m). Long-term data are analyzed and compared with various design codes, guidelines, and other research results. Probability of exceedance are calculated for each criterion. Regarding on deflection limits, Korean Bridge Design Code (Limit State Design) specifies L/400 and L/350 for cable stayed and suspension bridges, respectively. Saadeghvaziri suggested deflection limit based on natural frequency, acceleration limit of 0.5 m/s² and vehicle speed. Various human comfort criteria on vibration are also applied including ISO standards. The results of this study are expected to be useful reference for the design, the proper planning and deflection review of the long span cable bridges around the world. Further researches are required to find the optimum deflection or vibration criteria for long span bridge and their effects on bridge clearance and elevation.</p>

In this study, we proposed a methodology for a technique to simultaneously estimate the mechanical parameters of vehicles and bridges and road surface roughness from vehicle vibration. The MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) method was used to search for parameters from vehicle vibrations generated by numerical simulation. The results obtained are estimable even in the presence of bridge stiffness reduction, which suggests the possibility of bridge damage detection using vehicle vibration.

Abstract:
Lion-Head River Bridge is a parallel twin bridge. The East Bridge was designed and constructed as a traditional prestressed concrete box of bridge (Pot Bearings); and the West Bridge used seismic isolation devices (Lead Rubber Bearings). The behaviors of these two bridges are compared with each other through several field tests including the ambient vibration test, the force vibration test induced by shakers, and the free vibration test induced by push and fast release devices. During the period of this construction, the East and West bridges were strongly damaged by Chi-Chi and Chi-I earthquakes and had been retrofitted. The damage changed the natural frequencies of the bridges, which was explored from the ambient vibration test. The models of the two bridges are simulated by finite element method according to the original design and the soil-structure interaction was put into consideration in the models. Simulations were modified based on the results of the every test in the field. The dynamic parameters of the bridges are identified and compared with those from the theoretical simulation. The efficiency of isolated bridge is observed and verified.

Abstract:
Abstract The focus of this paper is active vibration control with application to cable-stayed bridges. Hybrid vibration control, involving the combined use of feedforward and feedback action, is applied to a prototype cable-stayed bridge. The control objective is to reject all disturbances that produce unwanted motion in the bridge structure, namely seismic activity, wave loading and wind loading. A 1/150 scale model of a cable-stayed bridge is designed and fabricated from steel, aluminum, and steel wire and compared to an existing structure using experimental modal analysis. A three-dimensional finite element model of the bridge is developed for verification purposes. The frequency range of interest for the structural active vibration control problem is determined, A method for placing sensors and actuators on the structure is developed using operational vibration data within the frequency range of interest. An adaptive, combined feedforward and feedback control system is implemented on the structure.

Abstract:
Abstract Heavy Vehicles speeds and dynamic loads are critical factors to bridge’s structure fatigue and rapid deterioration. The proposed paper addresses the modeling and simulation of dynamic loads of heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, on bridges and the effects of their speed on frequency response. In light of the above analysis, this paper proposes a method on how to minimize the structural vibrational of the combined vehicle and bridge system using semi-active suspension control. The vehicle dynamic load is minimized through an optimization scheme to yield an impact force with negligible bridge lateral deflection. The dynamic coupling between the vehicle and bridge are studied by examining the modes that are most likely to be excited by the vehicle speed and the roughness of the bridge surface. The models consist of a bridge and a heavy vehicle. The bridge is modeled as continuos, lightly damped beam with different supports defined by the boundary conditions. The vehicle is a multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) system undergoing motion in one plane. The methods of solution consist of a simple supported beam that closely simulates the first three beam modes of the Kishwaukee Bridge in Rockford, Illinois. The surface of the bridge generates some random excitation that serves as input to the vehicle, this is commonly known as the roughness of the bridge surface. The heavy vehicle is moving from left to right of the simply supported beam. The system is analyzed and optimized by semi-active control algorithms. Close form numerical solution is obtained by a set of second order differential equations for the bridge-vehicle system. Experimental data obtained from the vibration testing of Kishwaukee Bridge (Illinois) were collected and validated with a FEM model. Only the first three beam modes were used due to the experimental limitations and the actual structural condition of the bridge. Using MATLAB a simulation is obtained by inputting the linear time-variant equations and optimizing the system. Simulations of bridge vertical motion under different dynamic load conditions were examined and the results of bridge structure response were analyzed by comparing the effects of passive versus semi-active suspension controls. The method shows effectively how we can reduce the dynamic load force magnitude and its frequency of impact. The latter is usually associated with structural damage caused to the bridge.

SOUND RADIATION OF ORTHOTROPIC STEEL DECKS SUBJECTED TO MOVING VEHICLE LOADS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.052.

Full text
Abstract:
Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) are widely used in the construction of steel bridges due to their high bearing capacity and low material consumption. Current investigations into OSDs mainly focus on issues associated with static, stability, fatigue, etc. However, from the perspective of dynamics, structures with low dead loads may be susceptible to excessive vibration and noise, which occurs when shocks caused by moving traffic loads are transferred to the bridge deck and other components. Hence, bridge vibration and the associated noise are critical issues in steel bridges. This paper investigates the vibration and noise characteristics of OSDs under moving vehicle loads by using analytical method. First, the forced vibration response of the OSDs is solved by the Finite Element Method(FEM), and then the obtained response is used as the boundary condition of the OSDs boundary element model to solve the acoustic radiation. Finally, the variation rules of the vibration and sound radiation of the OSDs are analyzed when the load parameters, boundary conditions and structural parameters are changed. The results show that when analyzing the high-frequency vibration and noise of the OSDs, the all-shell-element model should be selected. The high frequency part of vibration and sound pressure of the OSDs is greater than the low frequency part under moving load. Increasing the load speed will increase the low-frequency part of vibration and sound pressure, but increasing the load eccentricity will have the opposite result. Strengthening the boundary constraints and increasing the number of ribs will suppress the vibration and reduce the sound pressure.

Abstract:
Due to its advantages of good mechanical properties, simple appearance and strong adaptability, the steel box girder is being widely utilized in urban bridges. The noise radiated by steel box girders subjected to vehicle impacts has the characteristics of wide-spectrum, high-magnitude and control difficulty. U-rib stiffened roof, as a part of the steel box girder, directly bears the input load, which is the basis of studying the vibration of the steel box girder. Currently, the investigation on the vibro-acoustic performance of U-rib plates is very limited. With this regard, this paper introduces the concept of Structural Intensity (SI). The SI vector is calculated by the Finite Element (FE) method. The power flow is visualized by the self-programming post-processing code. The global and local vibration energy transmission characters of a U-rib stiffened plate under a harmonic nodal force are analyzed. Further, the influence of plate thickness is investigated. The optimum design is carried out based on the engineering standard dimensions. The research results indicate that increasing the thickness ratio of the U-rib to the baseplate is beneficial to reducing the vibration.

VIBRO-ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE OF A STEEL BEAM OF GROOVE PROFILE: FIELD TEST AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.063.

Full text
Abstract:
To meet the development needs of rail transit, steel beams are more widely used in bridges, which brings more significant vibration and noise problems. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of a steel beam of groove profile are investigated through field test and numerical analysis. Firstly, under the hammering excitation, the vibration response of the slabs in a descending order are right web, left web and bottom slab. The vibration response is related to the distance from the response position to the excitation source and the stiffness of slabs. Then, a numerical model of the steel beam is established based on the hybrid FE-SEA method. The results of field test are consistent with the numerical simulation, which confirms the effectiveness of the hybrid FE-SEA method when analyzing the steel beam. Finally, by comparing the sound power level radiated from different slabs in three zones, it can be concluded that the sound power level is related to the distance from the test position to the excitation source. The overall sound power level will increase when canceling transverse connection system, and center excitation has a more significant effect than off-center excitation.
