This paper is focused on the torsional effects that are induced on bridge piers by unbalanced wind buffeting on the deck during double cantilever erection stages. The case of decks with variable cross section is considered in particular as this characteristic is typical of most frame bridges that are built by the cantilever method. The procedure outlined in the paper is basically an application of the method that Dyrbye and Hansen (1996) have illustrated for decks with constant cross section. This format was chosen because it is suitable for design purposes and may easily be implemented in structural codes. As a complement, the correspondence with the format that is adopted in the Canadian code (NBCC 1990) for the gust factor is established, which might be useful to bridge designers used to the North-American approach to the gust effects on structures. Only alongwind turbulence and horizontal movements of the deck are considered. The combination of torsional and bending effects is also discussed and it is illustrated with an example of application.

Nowadays balanced cantilever construction plays an essential role as a sophisticated erection technique of bridges due to its economical and ecological advantages. Experience teaches that wind has a great importance with regard to this construction technique, but methods proposed by codes to take wind effects into account are still rather crude and, in most cases, completely lacking. Also research in this field is quite limited and aimed at studying only the longitudinal shear and the torque at the pier base, caused by the mean wind velocity and by the longitudinal turbulence actions over the deck. This paper advances the present solutions by developing a new procedure that takes into account all wind effects both on the deck and on the pier. The proposed model assumes the mean wind velocity as orthogonal to the bridge plane and considers the effects produced by all the three turbulence components and by the vortex shedding. The applications point out the role of each loading component on different bridge configurations and show that disregarding the presence of some effects may imply oversimplified results and relevant underestimations.

일반적으로 사장교와 같은 장대교량은 완성 후에 비하여 시공 중 바람에 흔들리기 쉬어 내풍 안정성 문제가 발생하는 경우가 많다. 완공상태에서 충분한 내풍안정성을 확보하고 있더라도 시공단계에서는 설계풍속 이하에서 플러터 등의 공기역학적 진동현상 이 발생하는 경우가 많기 때문에 가설공법이 결정되면 반드시 풍동실험을 능한 적절한 제진 대책 안을 입안해 두어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 가설단계를 고려한 3차원 전교모형실험을 통하여 주경간이 500m인 사장교의 공기역학적 거동을 살펴보았다. 작업 중에 안정성 확보가 중요한 밸런스드 캔틸레버 상태인 가설단계 50% 에서 내풍케이블 및 가설벤트를 이용한 4가지 제진 대책방안을 수립하여 각각에 대하여 내풍 안정성을 검토하였다. 각 설치방안 별 제진효과를 서로 비교 분석하여 검토 범위 내에서 사장교 시공 중 가장 효율적인 임시 제진방안을 제시하였다. 추가적으로 밸런스드 캔틸레버 상태와의 내풍안정성을 비교하기 위하여 완성계와 제진 대책이 없는 주경간 폐합전의 프리캔틸레버 상태에 대하여 살펴보았다.
