The invention discloses a method for judging internal
instability of a large-span suspension bridge, which belongs to the technical field of
bridge engineering and comprises the following steps of: 1, acquiring section parameters and
modal parameters of a bridge, and constructing a vertical-torsional
coupling dynamic model of a main cable-suspender-main
beam system of the large-span suspension bridge; 2, on the basis of bridge section parameters and
modal parameters, vertical
modal inherent frequencies of all orders and torsional modal inherent frequencies of all orders are calculated; 3, for the combination of any one vertical mode and any one torsional mode, calculating a
frequency ratio, and judging whether the
frequency ratio falls into a sensitive
frequency ratio range of internal
instability or not; 4, if the frequency ratio falls into a sensitive frequency ratio range, calculating a critical span interval corresponding to the modal pair according to an internal
instability condition; 5, based on the critical span interval of each modal pair, establishing a segmented envelope line of internal instability; and 6, judging the internal instability risk of the bridge according to the subsection envelope line indexes. By the adoption of the method, the vibration risk of the large-span suspension bridge under the non-external
resonance condition can be effectively recognized.
