Baseline Model Establishment for a Bridge: I. Dynamic Testing
A newly constructed bridge across interstate highway I-77 in Iredell County NC, is a hybrid steel girder bridge using both High Performance Steel (HPS) 70W and HPS 100W steel. The negative moment sections of the girders have HPS 100W flanges, whereas other parts of the girder are composed of HPS 70W steel. This bridge represents an increased effort in using high performance steel in civil construction. In order to ensure construction quality, a baseline finite element model was established. This model will be used as future reference for long-term structural performance monitoring. To validate the model, modal tests using impact excitation were conducted on the bridge prior to its opening to traffic. The baseline finite element model generated in this paper was further verified and used for the static load testing comparison, which is reported in a companion paper
