Longitudinal Vibration Control of Long-Span Railway Cable-Stayed Bridge

Abstract:

As the floating type cable-stayed bridge has no longitudinal constraint between the main girder and the pylon, it may cause the main girder a large longitudinal displacement and the root of tower a large longitudinal bending moment, and affect the normal use and safety of the bridge under the earthquake or the train braking. It is an important part of the design to select an appropriate vibration control scheme. Taking a long-span railway bridge for example, this paper build the finite element model and analyses the damping effect in the view of train braking, moreover, the present study also examines the dynamic behavior with focus on two parameters of damping coefficient C and damping exponent αof the viscous dampers through dynamic time-history analysis. The results show that setting viscous dampers with the reasonable parameters can reduce the vibration and the response of the bridge by train braking and have a good energy dissipation effect.
