Investigation on aerodynamic stability of long-span suspension bridges under erection
AbstractThe aerodynamic stability of long-span suspension bridge under erection, particularly at early erection stage, is more problematic than in the final state. It is influenced by the deck erection sequence and the nonlinear effects of wind-structure interactions. Considering the geometric nonlinearity of bridge structures and the nonlinear effects of wind-structure interactions, a method of nonlinear aerodynamic stability analysis is presented to predicate the aerodynamic stability limit (flutter speed) of long-span suspension bridges during erection. Taking the Yichang Bridge over the Yangtze River as example, evolutions of flutter speeds with the deck erected by different sequences are numerically generated. The sequences of pylons to midspan and the non-symmetrical deck erection are confirmed analytically to be aerodynamically favorable for the deck erection of long-span suspension bridges, particularly at early erection stages. The flutter speeds of long-span suspension bridges under erection are greatly decreased by the nonlinear effects of wind-structure interactions.
