Due to increasing traffic on long span bridges, behavior of expansion joints is believed to be largely influenced by pounding impact from passing vehicles. In order to precisely understand behavior of expansion joint under vehicle impact loading, a new analysis scheme is proposed which incorporates interaction between vehicle and expansion joint. Mathematical model of vehicle is established and solved with Newmark method. Expansion joint is modeled with refined solid element in Finite element software ABAQUS. The analysis indicates that vehicle loading can induce large dynamic response of expansion joint in long span bridges.

In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to the research of dynamic response of long-span bridges with particular emphasis on seismic behavior. Cable-stayed and suspension bridges are the most popular types. Since long-span bridges have multi-supports and extreme lengths, due to the spatial variation effects, the ground motions at different supports might be non-uniform. A state-of-the-art update review of the response of long-span bridges subjected to non-uniform excitation is presented. The review mainly focuses on the theoretical aspects of non-uniform excitation, numerical studies, and experimental studies to verify some of the theoretical findings. In this paper, a review of the use of shake-table in experimental studies of long-span bridges is also presented. The non-uniform cases considered include a time delay with the same support excitations, multiple support excitations, and the combination of the first and the later. The results are discussed and summarized in comparison to the cases of uniform support excitation.

Cross Correlation Analysis

Nowadays, real-time bridge deformation monitoring has attracted more attention due to the development of bridge management system and land transportation safety. Huge civil engineering structures, such as long-span bridge, is susceptible to dynamic deflection caused by various loadings. Hence, precise dynamic response measurement becomes necessary to make structure more reliable and integrated. Currently, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning technology has been commonly used in this field to detect the dynamic displacement of long-span bridges. According to this, real-time data were collected from the Forth Road Bridge to observe the dynamic response of lang span bridges under extreme wind load conditions and this report has also verified the data processing technique of the real-time bridge deformation monitoring system. Compared with other monitoring methods, the method used in this report which combines GNSS and anemometer together has features of high frequency with low lag. Moreover, it also shows the superiority of post-processing and synchronization, background noises could be reduced by embedded software. Finally, according to the cross-correlation analysis, it was found that wind speed and bridge displacement in y-axis have the highest correlation. Also, the reliability of combining method to monitor the dynamic response of long-span bridge and noise reducing method proposed in this report has also been verified.

Long Span

Many long-span bridges have been built throughout the world in recent years but they are often subject to multiple types of dynamic loads, especially those located in wind-prone regions and carrying both trains and road vehicles. To ensure the safety and functionality of these bridges, dynamic responses of long-span bridges are often required for bridge assessment. Given that there are several limitations for the assessment based on field measurement of dynamic responses, a promising approach is based on numerical simulation technologies. This paper provides a detailed review of key issues involved in dynamic response analysis of long-span multiload bridges based on numerical simulation technologies, including dynamic interactions between running trains and bridge, between running road vehicles and bridge, and between wind and bridge, and in the wind-vehicle-bridge coupled system. Then a comprehensive review is conducted for engineering applications of newly developed numerical simulation technologies to safety assessment of long-span bridges, such as assessment of fatigue damage and assessment under extreme events. Finally, the existing problems and promising research efforts for the numerical simulation technologies and their applications to assessment of long-span multiload bridges are explored.
