Research on the Aerodynamic Measures Impact on Flutter Stability of Steel Truss Suspension Bridge

Abstract:

The flutter stability of the steel truss suspension bridge is hard to reach the requirement of the wind resisting stability when lacks the torsional stiffness. This paper discusses the influence of aerodynamic measure combination, such as central stabilizer, air director enclosed anti-collision bar and so on, towards the flutter stability of steel truss through the wind tunnel experiment of the bridge of Liu Jia gorge. The result shows: the effect of using both the upper and lower stabilized plate is better than separated used it. when sectionalized dispose upper stabilized plate, the flutter critical wind speed of attack angle will decrease rapidly. Outlaying the horizontal guide plate is better than internally installed; The flutter stability of different attack angle tend to be balanced by widening the horizontal guide plate. The anti-collision bar can be functionalized as the central stabilizer by heightening and enclosing, and effectively increase the critical wind speed of different attack angles of the high truss suspension bridge.
