The Static Wind Load Research of a Flat Box Girder Based on the Numerical Wind Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the wind field around the flat box girder of a long-span bridge under 0o attack angle was investigated by the numerical wind tunnel technique, which can not only get the distributions of the pressure, velocity and vortex in the flow field, but also obtain the various aerodynamic parameters of the bridges. The velocity profiles were obtained, and the coefficient of tri-component from the numerical simulations was in good agreement with that from the wind tunnel test, which demonstrated that it was reliable and feasible to utilize the numerical wind tunnel technique to simulate the wind field and certificate the coefficient of tri- component of the bridge.
