The present application belongs to the technical field of large bridge excitation, and discloses a large-span bridge low-frequency large-amplitude vibration excitation device. The present application generates periodic
vertical force by controlling the water
pump jet direction and jet timing, provides controllable
vertical load for the bridge, and thus excites the bridge to produce large-amplitude vertical or
torsional vibration. By designing the water tank capacity, the number of water pumps, the
nozzle diameter and the jet speed, using the multi-
nozzle parallel and
phase control strategy, the jet force and the
water flow back force are optimized, the
system power, the installation difficulty and the cost are significantly reduced, and high-efficiency excitation is realized. Compared with the prior art, the large-span bridge low-frequency large-amplitude vibration excitation device of the present application does not need complex mechanical
frequency modulation and
actuator, has small size, is convenient to disassemble and assemble, and has a flexible and adjustable
control system, can quickly adapt to different vibration
modes and frequency working conditions of the bridge, and has significant
engineering application prospect and popularization value.
