Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind tunnel testing technology for aeroelastic models during the construction period of cable-stayed bridges, and in particular to a temporary pier component for wind tunnel testing of aeroelastic models during the construction period of cable-stayed bridges. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of my country's economy and the improvement of its infrastructure, the demand for long-span bridges in transportation is increasing. The increase in bridge span is accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of the bridge structure, thus making the wind resistance of bridge structures a growing concern. In particular, for long-span cable-stayed bridges constructed using cantilever construction, the frequency of the bridge structure is further lower than that of the completed bridge, exacerbating wind resistance issues, especially the frequent buffeting response in natural wind environments. In other words, the lower frequency of the bridge structure during construction results in a greater buffeting response, which can easily affect the normal progress of construction, and in severe cases, endanger the personal safety of construction workers and even lead to structural damage. Therefore, buffeting control during the construction of long-span cable-stayed bridges is essential.

[0003] Currently, commonly used buffeting control measures include installing mass-tuned dampers, wind-resistant cables, and temporary piers. Among these, temporary piers not only reduce buffeting response but also reduce static wind internal forces, and their effectiveness is relatively high, leading to their widespread use. To clarify the impact of temporary pier location on bridge buffeting response during construction, two methods are typically used: one is through bridge buffeting calculations, achieved numerically. This method is advantageous due to its low cost and high efficiency, but requires a highly accurate buffeting force model to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results. The other method is to use aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests. While this method can provide accurate and reliable bridge buffeting response results, it suffers from drawbacks such as high cost and long development time.

[0004] In existing aeroelastic model wind tunnel tests, steel frames with a certain rigidity are usually used to simulate temporary pier components. These frames are fixed to the predetermined temporary pier locations by welding and connected to the bridge aeroelastic model. Then, the bridge's buffeting response is measured through wind tunnel tests.

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned test process, in order to clarify the impact of the temporary pier position on the bridge's flutter response during the construction period, it is necessary to move the temporary pier position multiple times. Moreover, due to the bridge's alignment, the height of the main beam will change. Therefore, the traditional method of setting temporary pier components not only requires welding the temporary pier components multiple times, but also requires replacing temporary pier components of different heights according to the changes in the bridge alignment. The operation is quite cumbersome and greatly increases the cycle of the aeroelastic model wind tunnel test.

[0006] It is evident that designing a temporary pier component that can be quickly repositioned is a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temporary pier component for wind tunnel testing of aeroelastic models during the construction period of cable-stayed bridges, in order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, facilitate the adjustment of the height and position of the temporary pier, and help to quickly determine the impact of the position of the temporary pier on the bridge's flutter response during the construction period.

The component includes a base plate, a clamping assembly, and a telescopic rod assembly.

The telescopic rod assembly allows adjustment of the position of the bridge aeroelastic model along the height direction of the main beam. Furthermore, since the temporary pier component provides this invention fixes the base plate to the test steel plate via the clamping assembly, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the bridge aeroelastic model along the span direction of the main beam, the clamping assembly is removed, and the base plate is moved to the desired position along the span direction of the main beam on the test steel plate.
