Dynamic Responses of the Beam Bridge under Moving Vehicular Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new method to study the impact factor of an old bridge strengthened with high strength materials based on the model updating technique. Using the genetic algorithm (GA) by minimizing an objective function of the residuals between the measured and predicted responses, the bridge and vehicle coupled vibration models were updated. Based on the displacement relationship and the interaction force relationship at the contact patches, the vehicle-bridge coupled system can be established by combining the equations of motion of both the bridge and vehicles. The simulated results show that the present method can simulate precisely the response of the tested bridge.
