Buffeting Reliability Analysis of Long Span Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Arch Bridge during Construction Stage

Abstract

In construction stage, a large buffeting response would endanger construction safety and quality for a long span concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge. Developing the study on buffeting security is indispensable to CFST arch bridge in construction stage. Combining random vibration analysis of structure with modern probability theory, taking an actual large span CFST arch bridge as example, dynamic reliability of buffeting responses research and analysis is developed, which is based on the buffeting analysis on time domain at the longest cantilever construction stage. The paper gives quantitative valuation on wind-vibration safety performance of the bridge in construction phase and offers a new thought and reference for homologous project.
