2D Aerodynamic Admittances of a Streamlined Box Bridge Deck in Various Turbulent Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to the influence of the three-dimensional (3D) effect, the identification accuracy of 3D aerodynamic admittance functions (AAFs) would inevitably be influenced by the ratio of turbulent integral scale to model dimension ...
Identification of Aerodynamic Derivatives of a Box-Girder Bridge Deck with Twin Active Flaps Using CFD Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A practical identification method based on single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) forced vibration was proposed and its application to obtain 16 aerodynamic derivatives of a box-girder bridge deck with twin active flaps (termed ...
Flutter Stability of Long-Span Bridges with Plate-Truss Separated and Composite Girders: Comparative Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The plate-truss composite girder (PTCG) has commonly been used in the design of long-span bridges in recent years. However, most studies regarding flutter stability and related mitigation measures primarily focus on ...
Effects of the Turbulence Integral Scale on the Non-Gaussian Properties and Extreme Wind Loads of Surface Pressure on a CAARC Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study the effects of the turbulence integral scale on the non-Gaussian properties and extreme wind loads of surface pressure, the surface pressures for two Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) ...
Estimating Exposure Roughness Based on Google Earth
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Exposure roughness is significant in the evaluation of design wind loads. The roughness length (z0) is a key parameter to determine the exposure coefficient. In current wind load provisions, z0 is determined generally ...
An Advanced Approach to Determining the Spanwise Coherence of the Buffeting Forces on Bridge Decks with Complex Configurations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The spanwise coherence of aerodynamic forces on a strip section is vital to evaluate the buffeting response of large-span bridges. However, when employing the commonly used pressure measurement technique, it is difficult ...
