Cable system construction is one of the most risky construction stages of long-span suspension bridges, and a reliable risk assessment is an important means to ensure the construction safety. This study proposes a risk assessment method for cable system construction of suspension bridges based on the cloud model, which can combine randomness and fuzziness of risk information effectively. First, a multilevel evaluation index system is built by disassembling the process of cable system construction. Next, the index weights are calculated by the uncertain analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Then, according to the cloud model, a risk assessment model for cable system construction of the suspension bridge is established by realizing the mutual transformation between qualitative language and quantified data. Finally, an illustrative example concerning the risk of cable system construction of Wuhan Yang-Si-Gang Yangtze River Bridge is provided to demonstrate the feasibility and objectivity of the proposed method.

Abstract In recent years, ammonia leakage accidents occur frequently, which causes a great concern in China. Based on traditional risk analysis methods and the equipment characteristics, a risk evaluation method for small ammonia refrigeration units is proposed. The method includes a risk assessment model based on area division, a failure probability assessment method based on expert scoring system, a failure consequence assessment method based on regional population density and consequence mitigation measures, and a HAZOP risk correction method. Based on the proposed method, a risk assessment system of small ammonia refrigeration units is developed. This risk assessment method and system will provide a scientific basis to carry out the cold storage management in China.

In view of the shortcomings in the risk assessment of deep-buried tunnels, a dynamic risk assessment method based on a Bayesian network is proposed. According to case statistics, a total of 12 specific risk rating factors are obtained and divided into three types: objective factors, subjective factors, and monitoring factors. The grading criteria of the risk rating factors are determined, and a dynamic risk rating system is established. A Bayesian network based on this system is constructed by expert knowledge and historical data. The nodes in the Bayesian network are in one-to-one correspondence with the three types of influencing factors, and the probability distribution is determined. Posterior probabilistic and sensitivity analyses are carried out, and the results show that the main influencing factors obtained by the two methods are basically the same. The constructed dynamic risk assessment model is most affected by the objective factor rating and monitoring factor rating, followed by the subjective factor rating. The dynamic risk rating is mainly affected by the surrounding rock level among the objective factors, construction management among the subjective factors, and arch crown convergence and side wall displacement among the monitoring factors. The dynamic risk assessment method based on the Bayesian network is applied to the No. 3 inclined shaft of the Humaling tunnel. According to the adjustment of the monitoring data and geological conditions, the dynamic risk rating probability of level I greatly decreased from 81.7% to 33.8%, the probability of level II significantly increased from 12.3% to 34.0%, and the probability of level III increased from 5.95% to 32.2%, which indicates that the risk level has risen sharply. The results show that this method can effectively predict the risk level during tunnel construction.

The type of suspension bridge is used all over the world because of its long span. But the cable system which forced the main load is vulnerable to damage and corrosion. In order to discuss the dynamic characteristics of typical long-span suspension bridges, a finite-element model of a typical long-span bridge was set up with ANSYS, and its top ten frequencies and vibration types were calculated. What’s more the dynamic characteristics under the variations such as modulus of elasticity, sectional size of the cable system, initial strain of the cable, as well as the deficiency of suspender cable were discussed. According to the analysis, the researchers got the conclusion that how the cable system impacts the whole bridge and which suspender cable plays the most significant role. Moreover, the results could serve as some valuable references for the optimization design and preservation of long-span suspension bridges.
