Abstract

The effects of wind on beam bridges can be significantly reduced with careful design of deck, roadway and wind barriers, as well as with appropriate design of piers. In this paper, the influence of corner design of rectangular cross-sectional piers to total wind force on piers is investigated. The total wind force changes, due to a different corner design of rectangular cross section of piers in free standing phase, are analyzed for piers of different heights, different environments and different wind velocities. The correlation between changes in total wind force and changes in geometric properties of a pier is also shown. By rounding the corners of a pier square cross section, the total wind force on pier in free standing phase can be drastically reduced in comparison to the total wind force on sharp corner pier with a small reduction in a load bearing properties of the pier. Changes in the bridge pier environment, as well as changes in pier height and wind velocity have negligible influence on changes in reduction of total wind force due to rounding the pier corners.

与桥墩转角设计相关的风力减小

通过仔细设计桥面、道路和防风屏障，以及适当设计桥墩，可以显著降低风对梁桥的影响。本文研究了矩形截面桥墩转角设计对桥墩总风力的影响。针对不同高度、不同环境、不同风速的桥墩，分析了自立阶段矩形截面转角设计不同所引起的总风力变化。还显示了总风力的变化与桥墩几何特性的变化之间的相关性。通过使桥墩方形截面的拐角变圆，与尖角桥墩上的总风力相比，独立阶段桥墩上的总体风力可以显著降低，同时桥墩的承载特性也会略有降低。桥墩环境的变化，以及桥墩高度和风速的变化，对由于桥墩转角变圆而导致的总风力减小的影响可以忽略不计。

期刊介绍： Engineering Review is an international journal designed to foster the exchange of ideas and transfer of knowledge between scientists and engineers involved in various engineering sciences that deal with investigations related to design, materials, technology, maintenance and manufacturing processes. It is not limited to the specific details of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a very wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. It provides an appropriate resort for publishing the papers covering prior applications – based on the research topics comprising the entire engineering spectrum. Topics of particular interest thus include: mechanical engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering, fundamental engineering sciences, electrical engineering, computer sciences and civil engineering. Manuscripts addressing other issues may also be considered if they relate to engineering oriented subjects. The contributions, which may be analytical, numerical or experimental, should be of significance to the progress of mentioned topics. Papers that are merely illustrations of established principles or procedures generally will not be accepted. Occasionally, the magazine is ready to publish high-quality-selected papers from the conference after being renovated, expanded and written in accordance with the rules of the magazine. The high standard of excellence for any of published papers will be ensured by peer-review procedure. The journal takes into consideration only original scientific papers.
