Abstract

Cable stayed Bridges are highly vulnerable to strong wind load induced vibrations which are responsible of generating aerodynamic instability and in a critical situation lead to structural failure. This paper focuses on buffeting response and flutter instability in a cable stayed Bridge. A strong fluctuating wind is assigned to a cable stayed Bridge model in ABAQUS FE program to onset optimization and global sensitivity analysis through considering three aerodynamic parameters (wind attack angle, deck streamlined length and stay cables viscous damping) by targeting the vertical and torsional vibrations of the deck. The numerical simulations results in conjunction with the frequency analysis results emphasized the existence of such vibrations. Model validation performed by comparing the results of lift and moment coefficients between the present FE model and two benchmarks from the literature (flat plate theory and flat plate by Xavier et al., 2015), which resulted in good agreements between them. Optimum values of the adopted aerodynamic parameters have been identified and discussed. Global sensitivity analysis based on Monte Carlo sampling method was utilized to formulate the surrogate models and the sensitivity indices so that to identify rational effect and role of each parameter on the aerodynamic stability of the structure.
