Recently, long span bridge construction has been demanded for development of the regions of the Russian Federation. In terms of economy, it’s useful to build a combined road-railway bridge. Such bridges, generally, constitute a metal cross-cutting girder with carriageways on lower, upper or both zones of the girder. The major advantages of combined bridges are high strength and load capacity, plus cross-cutting to wind load. Focus of this research is a combined road-railway bridge over the Ob river at the stage of assembling and operation. The purpose of the study was to determine the limits of aeroelastic stability of combined road-railway bridge at the stage of assembling and operation using numerical simulation. To better understand the bridges behaviour in air flow, flow around a section model has been researched with CFD simulation in the ANSYS FLUENT. Then based on the given results of the calculations the dependence of the bridge vibrations on wind speed within a specified range is obtained, and also values of drag coefficient Сх, lift coefficient Су and torque coefficient Мz are received. These studies were carried out in the range of angles of attack α = ±3°. The possibility of divergence and galloping was also estimated. The results of the study made it possible to estimate the influence of air flow on combined bridge cross-cutting girder. Overall, the conducted research seems promising for further investigation and development in the field of bridge aeroelasticity.

<p>This paper is part of a series of publications aimed at the divulgation of the results of the 3-step benchmark proposed by the IABSE Task Group 3.1 to define reference results for the validation of the software that simulate the aeroelastic stability and the response to the turbulent wind of super-long span bridges. Step 1 is a numerical comparison of different numerical models both a sectional model (Step 1.1) and a full bridge (Step 1.2) are studied. Step 2 will be the comparison of predicted results and experimental tests in wind tunnel. Step 3 will be a comparison against full scale measurements.</p><p>The results of Step 1.1 related to the response of a sectional model were presented to the last IABSE Symposium in Nantes 2018. In this paper, the results of Step 1.2 related to the response long-span full bridge are presented in this paper both in terms of aeroelastic stability and buffeting response, comparing the results coming from several TG members.</p>

With the development of highway and railway, the construction technique of bridge is developing at a lighting speed. Because of the need to across the river and channel, which span getting more and more large, the foundation of the bridge piers should be more and more stable. Lead to raising the load capacity of the pier foundation. The technique cofferdam construction is an effective mean to solve large foundation problems in deep water. And comparing the empirical value to the simulating value, the results demonstrate FLUENT is a reliable program to simulate the water resistance. This paper gives a model for complete resistance calculation and stability analysis of floating steel cofferdam which will provide a template for similar analysis of engineering application.

The requirement of long span bridge is increase with development of infrastructure facility in every nation. Long span bridge could be achieved with use of high strength materials and innovative techniques for analysis of bridge. Generally, cable-supported bridges comprise both suspension and cable-stayed bridges. Cable-supported bridges are very flexible in behavior. These flexible systems are susceptible to the dynamic effects of wind and earthquake loads. The cable-stayed bridge could provide more rigidity due to the presence of tensed cable stays as a force resistance element.

LSU-05 aircraft is one of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), which is being developed by the Aeronautics Technology Center of LAPAN, whose mission is for research, observation, patrol, border surveillance, and investigation of natural disasters. This study aims to determine the effect of vortex generators on the aerodynamic characteristics of the LSU-05 Unmanned Aircraft wing. The method used is a numerical analysis with CFD simulation for predicting aerodynamic characteristics and flow phenomena that occur. The models used are the aircraft wing of the LSU-05 without vortex generator and with vortex generator designed with CATIA software. The simulation is using ANSYS Fluent software to determine changes in the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing after the addition of vortex generators such as the lift coefficient and drag coefficient. The results of the addition of vortex generator on LSU-05 wings are the increasing value of the maximum lift coefficient of the wing which becomes 1,34840 from 1,26450, it increases 0,0839 (6.63%) point, the increasing value of the drag coefficient on the angle of attack from -9⁰ to 11⁰, the decreasing value of the drag coefficient on the angle of attack 12⁰ up to 15⁰ and the increasing stall angle of wing from 11⁰ to 14⁰ or increased by 3⁰ (27,7%). AbstrakPesawat LSU-05 adalah salah satu pesawat tanpa awak (UAV) yang sedang dikembangkan oleh Pusat Teknologi Penerbangan LAPAN, yang mempunyai misi untuk kegiatan penelitian, observasi, patroli, pengawasan perbatasan wilayah, dan investigasi bencana alam.

Abstract A Computer-Fluid-Dynamic (CFD) simulation of air-flow around quarter-circular object using commercial software ANSYS Fluent was used to study iteration of building to air-flow. Several, well know transient turbulence models were used and results were compared to experimental measurement of this object in Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) of Slovak University of Technology (SUT) in Bratislava. Main focus of this article is to compare pressure values from CFD in three different elevations, which were obtained from experimental measurement. Polyhedral mesh type was used in the simulation. Best results on the windward face elevations were obtained using LES turbulence model, where the averaged difference was around 7.71 %. On the leeward face elevations it was SAS turbulence model and averaged differences from was 15.91 %. On the circular face it was SAS turbulence model and averaged differences from all elevations was 12.93 %.

Steel fiber reinforced polymer high strength structural concrete (SPHSC) is a new composite material which is used in long-span bridge structures invented by this research team. Based on the new composite material, the experiments of stress-strain full curves under uniaxial compression were carried out. The stress-strain full curves were achieved from the simple improved method. By the method of theoretical derivation and experimental data fitting, the constitutive equation of SPHSC which contains only two undetermined parameters of compressive strength and parameter of steel fiber was obtained. The study is the theoretic basis of the new material which was widely use in civil engineering.
