Aerodynamic Forces of Stay Cables Incorporating in Flutier Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the length of stay cables close to 580m, only inclusion in aerodynamic forces of main deck cannot reflect the actual situation during wind-resistant design. The aerodynamic forces of stay cables should be considered in the three-dimensional flutter analysis of cable-stayed bridges. In this paper, mathematic expressions of unsteady aerodynamic force of stay cable were then derived in terms of aerodynamic damping and stiffness matrices. The above procedure is implemented into NACS by an independent module. As an example, the multimode flutter analysis of Sutong Bridge was conducted by using NACS. Fair agreement is achieved between the present numerical simulation and wind tunnel test results.
