Dynamic Assessment and Finite Element Model Updating of a Steel Pedestrian Bridge : An Experimental and Numerical Study Considering Temperature Effects (English)
Abstract [en]

This study investigates the influence of temperature and numerical model parameterson the natural frequencies of a steel pedestrian bridge, using experimentalmeasurements and numerical modelling. The results showed that the natural frequencieschanged by 16%, 3%, and 3% for the first three modes when comparingmeasurements conducted at outdoor temperatures of -8◦C and +8◦C. The structuraldamping was lower for -8◦C. Finally, it was concluded that longitudinal springs mustbe introduced at the bearings in the numerical model in order to achieve agreementbetween the numerical model and the experimentally identified natural frequenciesunder both temperature conditions. Furthermore, the damping ratios and modeshapes were found to depend on the excitation amplitude. Together, these observationssuggest that the observed changes in dynamic properties are caused by frictionin the bridge bearings.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker hur temperatur och numeriska modellparametrar påverkar egenfrekvenserna hos en gångbro i stål, baserat på experimentella mätningar och numerisk modellering. Resultaten visade att egenfrekvenserna förändrades med 16 %, 3 % och 3 % för de tre första egenmoderna vid en jämförelse mellan mätningar utförda vid utomhustemperaturer på -8◦C och +8◦C. Dämpningen var lägre för -8◦C. Slutligen drogs slutsatsen att longitudinella fjädrar måste införas vid brons lager för att uppnå överensstämmelse mellan den numeriska modellen och de experimentellt identifierade egenfrekvenserna under båda temperaturförhållandena. Vidare visade resultaten att dämpningen och modformerna var beroende av excitationens ampli-tud. Tillsammans tyder dessa observationer på att förändringarna i de dynamiska egenskaperna orsakas av friktion i brolagren.
