The Impact

In order to solve the problem of traditional buffeting analysis method is complex, the paper summarizes a calculation method of simplifying the suspension bridge buffeting response spectrum which considers the background response by simplifying the vibration mode function. Examples calculation shows that this function is efficient and accurate. With this method the paper analyzes the impact of parameters including structural damping ratio, aerodynamic admittance function, pneumatic self-excited forces, the main beam span and so on on the suspension bridge buffeting response. Results show that: First, the impact of the background response on concrete bridges with larger damping ratio cannot be ignored. Second, when aerodynamic admittance takes Sears function, the buffeting response analysis results may be partial dangerous. Third, the role of the background response on large long-span bridges of more than 2000 m can be ignored.

Consideration of natural wind related features, improved use of the harmonic synthesis, along with a high degree of change Simiu spectrum and Lumley-Panofsky spectrum as the goal of full-bridge stochastic wind field were simulated, generating a bridge structure of discrete points of vertical and horizontal wind pulse of time. Carried on the simulation using large universal finite element ANSYS, and the overall evaluation structure’s geometry misalignment, the host cable bridge tower wind load, the effective wind angle of attack’s influence, has calculated of the beam self-excited forces and obtained the long-span and slender suspension bridge with steel truss stiffened girder buffeting response result.

The flexibility and low damping of the long span suspended cables in suspension bridges makes them prone to vibrations due to wind and moving loads which affect the dynamic responses of the suspended cables and the bridge deck. This paper investigates the control of vibrations of a suspension bridge due to a vertical load moving on the bridge deck with a constant speed. A vertical cable between the bridge deck and the suspended cables is used to install a hydraulic actuator able to generate an active control force on the bridge deck. Two control schemes are proposed to generate the control force needed to reduce the vertical vibrations in the suspended cables and in the bridge deck. The proposed controllers, whose design is based on Lyapunov theory, guarantee the asymptotic stability of the system. The MATLAB software is used to simulate the performance of the controlled system. The simulation results indicate that the proposed controllers work well. In addition, the performance of the system with the proposed controllers is compared to the performance of the system controlled with a velocity feedback controller.

<p>This paper is part of a series of publications aimed at the divulgation of the results of the 3-step benchmark proposed by the IABSE Task Group 3.1 to define reference results for the validation of the software that simulate the aeroelastic stability and the response to the turbulent wind of super-long span bridges. Step 1 is a numerical comparison of different numerical models both a sectional model (Step 1.1) and a full bridge (Step 1.2) are studied. Step 2 will be the comparison of predicted results and experimental tests in wind tunnel. Step 3 will be a comparison against full scale measurements.</p><p>The results of Step 1.1 related to the response of a sectional model were presented to the last IABSE Symposium in Nantes 2018. In this paper, the results of Step 1.2 related to the response long-span full bridge are presented in this paper both in terms of aeroelastic stability and buffeting response, comparing the results coming from several TG members.</p>
