Role of moveable guide vane with various configurations in controlling the vortex-induced vibration of twin-box girder suspension bridges: An experimental investigation

Rui Zhou et al.

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of a moveable guide vane with various configurations in controlling the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a long-span suspension bridge with twin-box girder. VIV tests were conducted on a 1:50 scaled model with different guide vane configurations. The results show that the moveable guide vane can significantly reduce the maximum displacement responses of the main girder, especially under unfavorable wind attack angles. The stiffness and length of the guide vane also affect the VIV control, with lower stiffness and shorter length leading to better outcomes. The leeward guide vane plays an important role in VIV suppression when its stiffness exceeds a certain threshold.

Aerodynamic performance evaluation of steel-UHPC composite deck cable-stayed bridges with VIV countermeasures

Yongxin Yang et al.

Summary: The aerodynamic performance of cable-stayed bridges with steel-ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) composite girders and various vortex-induced vibration (VIV) countermeasures were evaluated through wind tunnel tests and numerical calculation. The removal of guide vanes alone was not effective in suppressing torsional VIV responses, while the removal of outside railing cornerstones and four guide vanes showed significant reduction in torsional VIV amplitudes. The removal of four guide vanes and outside railing cornerstones improved the overall aerodynamic performance of the bridge, surpassing the limited design requirements.

Nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics and modeling of a quasi-flat plate at torsional vibration: effects of angle of attack and vibration amplitude

Shengyuan Liu et al.

Summary: The clarification of the nonlinear and unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a quasi-flat plate is crucial for predicting its wind-induced post-flutter behavior. Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a sectional model of a quasi-flat plate to measure dynamic forces and torsional displacements. The study identified flutter derivatives, examined the nonlinear and unsteady characteristics of the self-excited forces, and analyzed the wind-induced energy maps. A polynomial model was proposed to describe the nonlinear characteristics of the self-excited forces.

Experimental Investigation of Effects of Wind Yaw Angles and Turbulence on Postflutter Behaviors of a Suspension Bridge Model

Zhixiong Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear postflutter behaviors of a suspension bridge model with a pi-shaped deck section, focusing on the influences of wind yaw angles and low-intensity turbulence. The results show that the modal damping ratios increase significantly with motion amplitudes. The wind flows with yaw angles are decomposed into perpendicular and parallel components to the bridge deck axis. The experimental results demonstrate that while small wind yaw angles slightly improve the critical wind speed, the largest wind yaw angle substantially improves it. Low-intensity oncoming turbulence is found to stabilize the system to some extent, increasing the flutter threshold without blurring the distinction between stability and instability.

Influence of the initial amplitude on the flutter performance of a 2D section and 3D full bridge with a streamlined box girder

Zhiguo Li et al.

Summary: This study experimentally examines the flutter performance of a streamlined box girder under different external excitations. The results show the close relationship between the torsional-motion-related flutter derivatives and the nonlinearity emerged in the flutter. The mechanisms leading to the dependence of the flutter response and critical wind speed on initial conditions are investigated. Additionally, the influences of the modal coupling effect and the spanwise variation of the self-excited forces on the modal properties and flutter performance of a full bridge are discussed.

Efficient modal-based method for analyzing nonlinear aerostatic stability of long-span bridges

M. Cid Montoya et al.

Summary: A method for analyzing the nonlinear aerostatic stability of long-span bridges using a modal formulation is proposed. The method evaluates bridge displacements using modal properties and applies a root-finding algorithm to assess critical velocity. By combining nonlinear FEM analyses with the modal-based approach and a root-finding algorithm, the instability limit point in nonlinear structures can be identified.

Wind-induced symmetric and asymmetric static torsional divergence of flexible suspension bridges

Zhitian Zhang et al.

Summary: This work addresses two types of wind-induced static torsional divergence of suspension bridge structures through analytic and numerical approaches. It is found that the symmetric torsional stiffness of the main cable system can be significantly larger than its asymmetric counterpart, leading to the emergence of symmetric divergence before asymmetric divergence. Moreover, the degradation nature of symmetric torsional stiffness and the increase in bridge deck's torsional stiffness can affect the critical wind speed of divergence and shift the instability pattern from asymmetric to symmetric.

Experimental and numerical studies of wind-resistance performance of twin-box girder bridges with various grid plates

Rui Zhou et al.

Summary: Through wind-tunnel tests and finite-element analysis, this study found that a thin-walled grid plate can effectively improve the flutter and aerostatic performance of a twin-box girder bridge, with larger grid porosity showing better results. However, for VIV performance, a smaller grid porosity is more advantageous.
