Long-span cable-stayed bridge (LCB) with unequal-height towers is being designed and constructed in metro lines due to its better adaptability to environment and terrain conditions compared to traditional cable-stayed bridge with equal-height towers. However, the asymmetrical arrangement of towers leads to obvious nonuniformity of the structural stiffness along the longitudinal direction, which intensifies the wheel-rail coupled vibration behaviour, and affects the running safety of operating trains and ride comfort. Therefore, train-bridge dynamic behaviour of long-span asymmetrical-stiffness cable-stayed bridge is deeply investigated in this work. Primarily, considering the comprehensive index of frequency difference and modal assurance criterion (MAC), a nonlinear model updating technique (NMUT) based on penalty function theory is proposed, which can be used to optimize the bridge numerical model. Secondly, on the basis of the train-track-bridge dynamic interaction theory (TDIT), a train-track-bridge coupled dynamic model (TCDM) is established. Finally, a LCB with unequal-height towers is applied as a case to illustrate the influence of asymmetrical stiffness on the train-track-bridge dynamic characteristics. Results show that the proposed NMUT is efficacious and practical. For the LCB with unequal-height towers, a significant difference between the bridge vibration at low tower location and that at high tower location appears. The vertical displacement difference of the main beam on both sides of the bridge increases with the distance from the observation point to the bridge tower increasing. The variation of acceleration difference on both sides of the bridge is influenced by the speed of the train and the position of the observation point simultaneously. In general, vibrations of the main beam at low tower location are larger than those at high tower location.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of a super-long-span cable-stayed bridge which is semi-floating system, the spatial finite element model of this cable-stayed bridge was established in ANSYS based on the finite element theory.Modal solution was conducted using subspace iteration method, and natural frequencies and vibration modes were obtained.The dynamic characteristics of this super-long-span cable-stayed bridge were then analyzed.Results showed that the super-long-span cable-stayed bridge of semi-floating system has long basic cycle, low natural frequencies, dense modes and intercoupling vibration modes.

Modal identification aims at identifying the dynamic properties including natural frequency, damping ratio, and mode shape, which is an important step in further structural damage detection, finite element model updating, and condition assessment. This paper presents the work on the investigation of the dynamic characteristics of a long-span cable-stayed bridge-Sutong Bridge by a Bayesian modal identification method. Sutong Bridge is the second longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, situated on the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China, with a total length of 2 088[Formula: see text]m. A short-term nondestructive on-site vibration test was conducted to collect the structural response and determine the actual dynamic characteristics of the bridge before it was opened to traffic. Due to the limited number of sensors, multiple setups were designed to complete the whole measurement. Based on the data collected in the field tests, modal parameters were identified by a fast Bayesian FFT method. The first three modes in both vertical and transverse directions were identified and studied. In order to obtain modal parameter variation with temperature and vibration levels, long-term tests have also been performed in different seasons. The variation of natural frequency and damping ratios with temperature and vibration level were investigated. The future distribution of the modal parameters was also predicted using these data.
