Abstract

Section model wind tunnel test is currently the main technique to investigate the flutter performance of long-span bridges. But further study about applying the results to the aerodynamic optimization of the bridge main beam is still needed. Methods and results of selecting design wind parameters of the bridges in the mountainous valley are determined by using the example of one long-span steel truss girder suspension bridge. The flutter critical winds at different attack angles are obtained through the 1:48 proportion section model flutter test. Under the most unfavorable working condition, tests to investigate the effects that upper central stabilized plate, lower central stabilized plate and horizontal stabilized plate have on the flutter performance of the main beam were conducted. According to the test results, the optimal aerodynamic measure was chosen to have met the requirements of the bridge wind resistance in consideration of safety, economy and aesthetics. At last, the credibility of the results is confirmed by the 1:100 proportion full bridge aerodynamic elastic model test. That the flutter reduced wind speed of long-span steel truss suspension bridges stays approximately at 4 is concluded as a reference for the investigation of the flutter performance of similar steel truss girder suspension bridges.
