Numerical investigation of the coupled flutter onset mechanism for streamlined bridge deck cross-sections
In this work the aeroelastic stability of long-span bridge decks is numerically investigated. A simulation model is presented by which the aerodynamic fields and the structural motion are simultaneously and jointly simulated. The bridge deck is schematised as a bidimensional rigid body subject to elastic restraints corresponding to the torsional and the vertical degree of freedom, and the ALE f...
متن کاملDetection of Bridge Deck
Delamination is probably the most serious form of deterioration I which is commonly found in britlge decks. It ultimately results in large scale spalling necessitating costly repairs. This type of failure is believed to be caused chiefly from salt induced corrosion of the reinforcing steel. An instrument designed to detect delamination, and tests conducted to val:iAate its perf'ormance, are .br...
متن کاملBridge Deck Deicing
Concrete bridge decks are prone to ice accumulation. The use of road salts and chemicals for deicing is cost effective but causes damage to concrete and corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks. This problem is a major concern to transportation officials and public works due to rapid degradation of existing concrete pavements and bridge decks. The use of insulation materials for ...
متن کاملWind Tunnel Measurements for Flutter of a Long-Afterbody Bridge Deck
Bridges are an important component of transportation. Flutter is a self-excited, large amplitude vibration, which may lead to collapse of bridges. It must be understood and avoided. This paper takes the Jianghai Channel Bridge, which is a significant part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, as an example to investigate the flutter of the bridge deck. Firstly, aerodynamic force models for flut...
متن کاملIdentification of critical structural modes and flutter derivatives for predicting coupled bridge flutter
This study identifies the control parameters which critically influence the development of intermodal coupling and the generation of aerodynamic damping, based on closed-form solutions of bimodal coupled analysis of bridge aerolastic system. This information helps in developing a guideline for the selection of most critical structural modes in a coupled flutter analysis and in better interpreta...
