This paper presents a new analysis framework for predicting the internal buffeting forces in bridge components under skew wind. A linear regressive model between the internal buffeting force and deformation under normal wind is derived based on mathematical statistical theory. Applying this regression model under normal wind and the time history of buffeting displacement under skew wind with different yaw angles in wind tunnel tests, internal buffeting forces in bridge components can be obtained directly, without using the complex theory of buffeting analysis under skew wind. A self-anchored suspension bridge with a main span of 260 m and a steel arch bridge with a main span of 450 m are selected as case studies to illustrate the application of this linear regressive framework. The results show that the regressive model between internal buffeting force and displacement may be of high significance and can also be applied in the skew wind case with proper regressands, and the most unfavorable internal buffeting forces often occur under yaw wind.

In the traditional buffeting response analysis method, the spanwise incomplete correlation of buffeting forces is always assumed to be same as that of the incident wind turbulence and the action of the signature turbulence is ignored. In this paper, three typical bridge decks usually adopted in the real bridge engineering, a single flat box deck, a central slotted box deck and a two-separated paralleled box deck, were employed as the investigated objects. The wind induced pressure on these bridge decks were measured via a series of wind tunnel pressure tests of the sectional models. The influences of the wind speed in the tests, the angle of attack, the turbulence intensity and the characteristic distance were taken into account and discussed. The spanwise root coherence of buffeting forces was also compared with that of the incidence turbulence. The signature turbulence effect on the spanwise root coherence function was decomposed and explained by a new empirical method with a double-variable model. Finally, the formula of a sum of rational fractions that accounted for the signature turbulence effect was proposed in order to fit the results of the spanwise root coherence function. The results show that, the spanwise root coherence of the drag force agrees with that of incidence turbulence in some range of the reduced frequency but disagree in the mostly reduced frequency. The spanwise root coherence of the lift force and the torsional moment is much larger than that of the incidence turbulence. The influences of the wind speed and the angle of attack are slight, and they can be ignored in the wind tunnel test. The spanwise coherence function often involves several narrow peaks due to the signature turbulence effect in the high reduced frequency zone. The spanwise coherence function is related to the spanwise separation distance and the spanwise integral length scales, and the signature turbulence effect is related to the deck-width-related reduced frequency.

This paper describes a new method for the estimation of six complex aerodynamic admittance functions. The aerodynamic admittance functions relate buffeting forces to the incoming wind turbulent components, of which the estimation accuracy affects the prediction accuracy of the buffeting response of long-span bridges. There should be two aerodynamic admittance functions corresponding to the longitudinal and vertical turbulent components, respectively, for each gust buffeting force. Therefore, there are six aerodynamic admittance functions in all for the three buffeting forces. Sears function is a complex theoretical expression for the aerodynamic admittance function for a thin airfoil. Similarly, the aerodynamic admittance functions for a bridge deck should also be complex functions. This paper presents a separated frequency-by-frequency method for estimating the six complex aerodynamic admittance functions. A new experimental methodology using an active turbulence generator is developed to measure simultaneously all the six complex aerodynamic admittance functions. Wind tunnel tests of a thin plate model and a streamlined bridge section model are conducted in turbulent flow. The six complex aerodynamic admittance functions, determined by the developed methodology are compared with the Sears functions and Davenport's formula.

공용 중인 교량의 버페팅 응답을 해석적으로 평가하기 위해서는 교량 현장의 난류강도, 난류 스펙트럼, 조도계수, 거스트 계수 등 풍하중에 대한 분석이 우선되어야 하고, 해석 결과는 정적 공기력 계수, 플러터계수, 구조 감쇠비, 공기역학적 감쇠비, 고유 진동수 등 여러 변수에 의해 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서 대상으로 한 교량은 32년째 공용 중에 있는 교량으로써 교량 주변의 지형조건은 설계 및 시공 당시에 비해 많은 변화가 발생하였으며 최근 기후 변화로 인한 풍 환경 역시 큰 변화가 있다. 이러한 이유로 대상교량에서 실측한 풍속 데이터를 분석하여 난류강도, 난류길이, 지표조도계수, 풍속 스펙트럼 등 교량 현장의 풍하중을 평가하였다. 교량 주변의 풍환경 평가 결과, 대상 교량은 해상교량임에도 불구하고 지표조도구분 II의 특성을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 실측한 구조물의 가속도, 변위 응답 데이터를 통해 대상교량의 감쇠비, 정적 공기력 계수, 고유진동수를 평가하여 계측기반 버페팅 해석 변수를 산정하였다. 계측데이터 기반의 해석 변수와 케이블강교량설계지침에 제시된 해석 변수를 적용하여 총 4가지 경우에 대한 버페팅 해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 10분 평균 풍속 25m/s이하에서 측정된 버페팅 응답과 계측 기반 해석 변수를 적용한 해석 응답이 가장 잘 일치함을 확인하였고, 계측 풍속과 Gumbel 확률분포를 이용하여 추정한 200년 재현기대 풍속인 45m/s에서의 버페팅 응답을 제시하였다.

Flutter stability and buffeting response have been the topics of most concern in the design state of long-span suspension bridges. Among approaches towards the aerodynamic stability, the aerodynamic-based control method which uses control surfaces to generate forces counteracting the unstable excitations has shown to be promising. This study focused on the mechanically controlled system using flaps; two flaps were attached on both sides of a bridge deck and were driven by the motions of the bridge deck. When the flaps moved, the overall cross section of the bridge deck containing these flaps was continuously changing. As a consequence, the aerodynamic forces also changed. The efficiency of the control was studied through the numerical simulation and experimental investigations. The values of quasi-steady forces, together with the experimental aerodynamic force coefficients, were proposed in the simulation. The results showed that the passive flap control can, with appropriate motion of the flaps, solve the aerodynamic instability. The efficiency of the flap control on the full span of a simple suspension bridge was also carried out. The mode-by-mode technique was applied for the investigation. The results revealed that the efficiency of the flap control relates to the mode number, the installed location of the flap, and the flap length.

복층거더 번들형 사장교의 대블럭 가설 중 내풍안정성 확보를 위해 잭업바지 위에 임시벤트를 설치하여 가설 구조계를 지지하는 방안이 검토되었다. 일반적으로 거스트 계수를 곱한 정적 항력으로 임시벤트를 설계하는 경우 거더의 버페팅력에 의해 발생되는 임시벤트의 축력 변동성분을 고려할 수 없으며, 이는 일부 설계기준에 제시된 정적 상향 풍력으로도 평가할 수 없다. 유용한 해결 방안으로 주파수영역 버페팅해석을 수행하고 임시벤트에 작용하는 거더의 반력을 산정하였다. 우선 임시벤트를 해석 모델에 포함하고 거더와의 동적 상호작용을 엄밀히 반영하는 해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 임시벤트가 거더를 받치는 고정 지지점으로 간주하여 해석한 경우의 결과와 비교 검토하였다. 임시벤트의 강성을 고려하는 경우 산정된 임시벤트와 거더 간 작용력은 임시벤트를 고정 지지점으로 간주하여 얻은 반력에 비하여 작은 값을 보였다. 따라서 대상교량의 가설 구조물 내풍설계를 수행하는 경우 임시벤트가 포함된 해석 모델링의 필요성과 버페팅해석을 통한 동적내풍 설계의 유용성을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 랜덤 풍하중에 대한 사장교의 동력학적 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍하중은 정적성분 (steady wind force), self-excited force 및 buffeting force에 의한 영향을 고려하고 구조물의 거동해석은 자유진동모우드를 이용한 주파수 영역에서의 랜덤해석기법으로 수행하여, 공기역학적 요인에 기인하는 교량의 안정성을 검토하고 형의 수직거동 및 Cable의 장력변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 전라남도 여수에 건설 중인 돌산교를 예로 한 해석결과를 보면, 설계풍속 조건에서 동력학적 해석결과가 정력학적 해석결과보다 약 2.5배 크게 나타나 동력학적 해석의 중요성을 알 수 있었고, 설계조건하에서 풍하중에 의한 거동이 차량하중 및 지진하중에 의한 결과보다 더 커서 풍하중에 대한 면밀한 해석이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper is devoted to the non linear quasi-steady aerodynamic loading. A linear approximation is often used to compute the response of structures to buffeting forces. Some researchers have however shown that it is possible to account for the non linearity of this loading. This non linearity can come (i) from the squared velocity or (ii) from the shape of the aerodynamic coefficients (as functions of the wind angle of attack). In this paper, it is shown that this second origin can have significant implications on the design of the structure, particularly when the non linearity of the aerodynamic coefficient is important or when the transverse turbulence is important.

This study investigates effects of partially earth anchored cable system on the structural safety for a long-span cable-stayed bridge under dynamic loads such as seismic and wind load. For a three span cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 810 m, two models are analyzed and compared; one is a bridge model with a self anchored cable system, the other is a bridge model with a partially earth anchored cable system. By performing multi-mode spectrum analysis for a prescribed seismic load and multi-mode buffeting analysis for a fluctuating wind component, the structural response of two models are compared. From results, the partially earth anchored cable system reduce the maximum pylon moment by 66% since earth anchored cables affect the natural frequencies of girder vertical modes and pylon longitudinal modes. In addition, the girder axial forces are decreased, specially the decrement of the axial force is large in seismic load, while girder moment is slightly increased. Thus, the partially earth anchored cable system is effective system not only on reduction of girder axial forces but also improvement of structural safety of a cable-stayed bridge under dynamic loads such as seismic and wind loads.
