As the floating type cable-stayed bridge has no longitudinal constraint between the main girder and the pylon, it may cause the main girder a large longitudinal displacement and the root of tower a large longitudinal bending moment, and affect the normal use and safety of the bridge under the earthquake or the train braking. It is an important part of the design to select an appropriate vibration control scheme. Taking a long-span railway bridge for example, this paper build the finite element model and analyses the damping effect in the view of train braking, moreover, the present study also examines the dynamic behavior with focus on two parameters of damping coefficient C and damping exponent αof the viscous dampers through dynamic time-history analysis. The results show that setting viscous dampers with the reasonable parameters can reduce the vibration and the response of the bridge by train braking and have a good energy dissipation effect.

With the increase of the running speed of high-speed trains, the longitudinal vibration of the long span railway cable-stayed bridge under train loads has increased significantly. And the probability of high-speed train braking is greater than earthquake. The excessive vibration response will affect the serviceable of the cable-stayed bridge. Fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) and elastic cables (ECs) which are widely used in seismic design of the bridge are adopted to control the longitudinal vibration response of the cable-stayed bridge induced by train braking loads. The influence of the design parameters of FVDs and ECs on the response of the bridge is studied. And the effectiveness of FVDs and ECs on mitigating the longitudinal response of the bridge is also discussed. It is found that installing FVDs and ECs between the deck and the tower is very efficient in reducing the longitudinal vibration of the railway cable-stayed bridge subjected to train braking loads, especially the longitudinal displacement of the deck and the bending moment of the tower.

The paper is aimed at investigating the longitudinal vibration and vibration reduction of a cable-stayed bridge under vehicular loads with emphasis on the longitudinal resonance. To investigate the phenomenon of longitudinal resonant vibration, the equivalent longitudinal excitation for the bridge deck due to moving vertical loads is approximately expressed as longitudinal loads with a sine-wave form. A formula for estimating the longitudinal resonant speed of the cable-stayed bridge is developed. A long-span cable-stayed railway bridge is considered in the case study to calculate the longitudinal response of the bridge under moving loads at different speeds. The numerical results indicate that the longitudinal resonance for the cable-stayed bridge occurs when the speeds of the moving loads approach the resonant speed predicted by the analytical formula. A fluid viscous damper (FVD) is employed to reduce the longitudinal vibration of the bridge under moving loads. The results show that the longitudinal resonant responses of the cable-stayed bridge can be effectively mitigated by the FVD adopted.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of a super-long-span cable-stayed bridge which is semi-floating system, the spatial finite element model of this cable-stayed bridge was established in ANSYS based on the finite element theory.Modal solution was conducted using subspace iteration method, and natural frequencies and vibration modes were obtained.The dynamic characteristics of this super-long-span cable-stayed bridge were then analyzed.Results showed that the super-long-span cable-stayed bridge of semi-floating system has long basic cycle, low natural frequencies, dense modes and intercoupling vibration modes.

Modal identification aims at identifying the dynamic properties including natural frequency, damping ratio, and mode shape, which is an important step in further structural damage detection, finite element model updating, and condition assessment. This paper presents the work on the investigation of the dynamic characteristics of a long-span cable-stayed bridge-Sutong Bridge by a Bayesian modal identification method. Sutong Bridge is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, situated on the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China, with a total length of 2 088[Formula: see text]m. A short-term nondestructive on-site vibration test was conducted to collect the structural response and determine the actual dynamic characteristics of the bridge before it was opened to traffic. Due to the limited number of sensors, multiple setups were designed to complete the whole measurement. Based on the data collected in the field tests, modal parameters were identified by a fast Bayesian FFT method. The first three modes in both vertical and transverse directions were identified and studied. In order to obtain modal parameter variation with temperature and vibration levels, long-term tests have also been performed in different seasons. The variation of natural frequency and damping ratios with temperature and vibration level were investigated. The future distribution of the modal parameters was also predicted using these data.
