Bridge Tower

The aerodynamic performance of vehicles on a bridge deck depends on the local wind field, especially in a region near a bridge tower. This study was carried out on a large-scale (1: 20.4) truss girder, and wind tunnel tests were performed to determine how the wind fields were affected by the bridge tower in the presence of different wind barriers. The wind barrier parameters significantly affect the wind field. Wind barriers should be sufficiently high to provide a wide protection range and have relatively small porosities to reduce the wind speed. The opening form of the wind barrier should also be considered, where a circular-holed form reduces the wind speed and turbulence more than a horizontal-slatted form. The wind field is affected by structures and bridge towers on the deck. A turning point in the wind speed occurs at a measurement point near the bridge tower, and this point gradually moves upward towards lanes on the leeward side of the bridge. The equivalent wind speed is significantly reduced over a four-meter height range because of shadowing from the bridge tower and the wind barrier.

Local Wind Field

Metal structures of present port machineries are much more flexible than those decades ago, and are therefore very vulnerable to various wind-induced vibrations, among which the frequently happened random buffeting of structures attracts some special attentions since it contributes pretty much to the early structural fatigue. The intensity of buffeting is closely related to the local surrounding wind field. In this paper, the local wind field of a container port in Shanghai of China was simulated by CFD technique, and the corresponding spatial distribution of wind velocity, turbulence intensity, and wind profile were investigated in detail.
