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 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 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 کاملDiscrete vortex simulation of flow around five generic bridge deck sections
Two-dimensional viscous incompressible flow past five generic bridge deck cross sections are investigated by means of the discrete vortex method. The analyses yields root mean square lift coefficients and Strouhal numbers for fixed cross sections and aerodynamic derivatives for the cross sections undergoing forced oscillatory cross wind and twisting motion. Fair agreement is established between...
