This paper investigates congested traffic loading on long-span bridges through the use of traffic microsimulation. Six months of Weigh-In-Motion free-flow traffic data (including cars) are used as input for the microsimulation of congested traffic. Key parameters that affect traffic loading are identified in the output of the microsimulation, and these parameters form the basis for a more computationally efficient ‘pseudo-microsimulation of congested traffic’ (PMCT) model. This PMCT model is shown to replicate the traffic loading from full microsimulation accurately and allows long-run simulations, equivalent to 1000 years of congested traffic, to be performed with an acceptably short duration. This reduces the significant uncertainties associated with extrapolating short-run simulation results to long return periods. The 1000-year simulated results from the PMCT are compared with the extrapolated results from full microsimulation, and with the traffic loading from some design codes, for different bridge lengths. Both types of microsimulation are also applied to calculate maximum lifetime loading for two typical long-span bridges – one cable-stayed and one suspension bridge – using influence lines determined from finite-element models. 相似文献

Traffic micro-simulation is the newly developed approach for loading calculation of long span bridges. The approach is quite precise, but computationally expensive to consider the full extent of traffic loading scenarios during a bridge lifetime. To address this shortfall, an efficient multi-scale traffic modelling approach is proposed. The proposed approach uses micro- and macro-simulation with different load model varieties (LMVs), or fidelities (levels of detail) of traffic loading in different bridge regions, to achieve optimal computation efficiency while maintaining the precision of loading calculation. Metrics of influence line (IL) characteristics, such as degree of nonlinearity, are proposed to evaluate the appropriateness of the choice of LMV, and standards of the metrics are also investigated to quantify the implementation of LMVs on bridge IL regions in the multi-scale modelling. Finally, two typical ILs are used along with random traffic modelling to study the feasibility of the proposed approach. It is shown that the multi-scale modelling approach proposed here achieves high computational efficiency and accuracy, which is significant for the massive traffic load simulation for lifetime bridge load effect analysis. 相似文献

The determination of characteristic bridge load effect is a complex problem. Usually, statistical extrapolation of simulated static load effects is used to derive a lifetime characteristic static load effect. However, when a vehicle crosses a bridge, dynamic interactions occur which often cause greater total load effect. This total load effect is related to the static load effect through a dynamic amplification factor (DAF). Specifications often recommend a conservative level for DAF, based on bridge length, number of lanes, and type of load effect only. Therefore significant improvements in the accuracy of this calculation are possible if a DAF, specific to the considered bridge, is applied. In this paper, the authors develop a novel method that considers site-specific bridge and traffic load conditions and allows for the reduced probability of both high static loading and high dynamic interaction occurring simultaneously. This approach utilises multivariate extreme value theory, in conjunction with static simulations and finite element vehicle–bridge dynamic interaction models. It is found that the dynamic allowance for the sample bridge and traffic considered is significantly less than recommended by bridge codes. This finding can have significant implications for the assessment of existing bridge stock. 相似文献

AbstractThe accuracy of bridge system safety evaluations and reliability assessments obtained through refined structural and finite element analyses depends not only on the accuracy of the structural model itself but also on the proper modelling of the maximum traffic loads. While current code-specified live load models were calibrated to properly reflect the safety levels of bridge structures analysed using the simplified methods adopted in bridge design and evaluation manuals, these load models may not lead to accurate results when implemented during refined structural analysis procedures. This paper describes a method to calibrate appropriate live load models that can be used for advanced analyses of bridges. The calibration procedure is demonstrated using actual traffic data collected at a representative weigh-in-motion station in New York State. The proposed calibration methodology is applicable for developing live load models for different bridge service periods, bridge types and design/assessment codes or standards. Live load models obtained using the proposed calibration procedure are readily implementable for deterministic refined analyses of highway bridges to produce similar results to those of complex traffic load simulations. Examples are presented that describe how results of such calibrated live load models would be used in engineering practice. 相似文献

For fatigue damage prognosis of a long-span steel bridge, the dynamic stress analysis of critical structural components of the bridge under the future dynamic vehicle loading is essential. This paper thus presents a framework of dynamic stress analysis for fatigue damage prognosis of long-span steel bridges under the future dynamic vehicle loading. The multi-scale finite element (FE) model of the bridge is first developed using shell/plate elements to simulate the critical structural components (local models) and using beam/truss elements to simulate the rest part of the bridge (global model). With the appropriate coupling of the global and local models, the multi-scale FE model can accurately capture simultaneously not only the global behavior in terms of displacement and acceleration but also the local behavior in terms of stress and strain. A vehicle traffic load model is then developed for forecasting the future vehicle loading based on the recorded weigh-in-motion (WIM) data and using the agent-based traffic flow microsimulation. The forecasted future vehicle loading is finally applied on the multi-scale model of a real long-span cable-stayed bridge for dynamic stress analysis and fatigue damage prognosis. The obtained results show that the proposed framework is effective and accurate for dynamic stress analysis and fatigue damage prognosis. 相似文献

In the U.S. overloading represents the third cause of bridge failures just after hydraulic events and collisions. Large data assembled by Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems can be used to obtain improved region-specific or network-specific characterization of vehicle loads on highway bridges for a more accurate evaluation of the safety of critical bridges and the failure consequences to the concerned communities. To achieve this goal it is important to develop tools that allow engineers to estimate the reliability of various types of bridges subjected to realistic ranges of heavy truck load intensities as encountered on highway networks. The objective of this paper is to describe an approach that combines field data and numerical simulations to perform the fragility analysis of bridges due to different percentages of overweight loads and truck traffic. Numerical examples are provided by analyzing typical bridges using field truck data collected at WIM sites in upstate New York. The results of the analysis show that the fragility curves for fatigue are function of the percentage of overweight trucks in New York as a second order polynomial, while the fragility curves of bridges for overstress can be modeled with a copula using both normal distributions for the overweight percentages and Average Daily Truck Traffic. 相似文献

Flutter- and buffeting-based selection for long-span bridges 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Flutter-based selection for the Jiangyin Bridge, a suspension bridge with a main span of 1385 m, was made through a sectional model wind tunnel test. The concept of “buffeting-based selection” of long-span suspended bridges in the preliminary design stage was proposed, and the corresponding method was developed based on the Scanlan buffeting analysis method. Fifteen long-span bridges that have been researched by the authors and other co-researchers were investigated to simplify the method further. Also, the Jiangyin Bridge was taken as an example to show the application of the buffeting-based selection method. 相似文献

The flutter control effect and mechanism of central-slotting, which have gradually been adopted in the design and construction
of long-span bridges as an effective flutter controlling measure, were investigated with theoretical analysis and wind tunnel
test. Five basic girder cross-sections representing five typical aerodynamic configurations were selected and central-slotted
with two different slot widths. Then, a series of sectional model tests and theoretical analyses based on the two-dimensional
three-degrees-of-freedom coupling flutter analysis method (2 dimension-3 degrees of freedom method, 2d-3DOF method) were carried
out to investigate the aerody namic performance, flutter mechanism and flutter modality of the five basic sections and their
corresponding central-slotted sections. The results show that central-slotting can not always improve the aerodynamic stability
of bridge structure. The control effect of central-slotting depends on the aerodynamic configuration of the original girder
section and the corresponding central-slotting width. If the original section is inappropriate or the slot width is unsuitable,
central-slotting will even deteriorate the structural flutter performance. Theoretical investigations indicated that the differences
in flutter control effects come from the different formation and evolution of aerodynamic damping, and flutter modality especially
the participation level of heaving motion also has a significant influence on the control effect of central-slotting.

大跨度桥梁中央开槽颤振控制效果和机理研究 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
采用理论分析结合风洞试验的方法,对中央开槽这种已经在大跨度桥梁设计和建设中逐步得到应用的颤振控制措施的控制效果和控制机理进行研究。选取5种不同气动外形的基本断面,采取2种开槽宽度分别对其进行中央开槽处理。对全部5个系列15种断面开展节段模型风洞试验,并应用二维三自由度耦合颤振分析方法,对各断面开槽前后颤振性能、颤振驱动机理和颤振形态的变化规律进行分析。研究结果表明,中央开槽并不总是能提高结构的颤振稳定性能,其控制效果同基本断面的气动外形以及开槽宽度密切相关,当槽宽不恰当时中央开槽的控制效果会严重削弱,而对气动外形比较钝化的断面采用中央开槽后其颤振性能反而会恶化。对控制机理的理论分析表明,这种控制效果差异的原因在于各断面气动阻尼的形成和随风速发展规律存在明显差别,而颤振形态特别是竖向自由度的参与程度也影响到中央开槽的颤振控制效果。 相似文献

The Europabrücke, a well-known Austrian steel bridge near Innsbruck that was opened in 1963, is one of the main alpine north–south routes for urban and freight traffic. Currently the bridge is stressed by more than 30,000 motor vehicles per day (approximately 20% freight traffic). The superstructure is represented by a steel box girder (width = 10 m, variable height along the bridge length = 4.70–7.70 m) and an orthotropic deck and bottom plate. This motorway bridge with six spans of different lengths (longest span 198 m, supported by piers with an elevation of 190 m) and a total length of 657 m comprises six lanes, three for each direction distributed on a width of almost 25 m. It represents a bridge generation where bridge designers acted on a maximum of building material economisation. A long-term preoccupation of Vienna Consulting Engineers with the bridge monitoring system BRIMOS® on the Europabrücke (since 1997), with regard to fatigue problems and possible damage, led to the installation of a permanent monitoring system in 2003. As lifetime predictions in modern standards depend on lots of assumptions, the emphasis is to replace those premises (referring to loading) by measurements. A dynamic weight registration procedure for freight traffic (the major feature of the permanent monitoring system), mainly based on a pattern recognition algorithm, is introduced. 相似文献
