Abstract
Long-span bridges in mountainous areas are greatly disturbed by wind, and the wind field at the mountain gorge bridge site is extremely complex. Therefore, it is of great engineering significance to accurately evaluate the wind field characteristics of this kind of terrain. In this paper, to enhance understanding of this kind of wind field, the wind field in a mountainous gorge is measured for a long time using wind radar, and the mean wind parameters are statistically analyzed. The results show that the mean wind parameters vary greatly under different wind directions, and the wind speed profile does not meet the power-law model. Therefore, a mixed model suitable for the wind speed profile in a mountainous gorge is proposed. Additionally, GEV distribution and Logistic distribution are found to be suitable for describing the distribution characteristics of wind speed and angle of attack, respectively. In addition, considering the correlation between wind parameters, this paper also constructs the joint probability model of wind speed and angle of attack at different heights by the Copula function. Thus, a combined wind parameters profile model is developed under different exceedance probabilities based on the inverse first-order reliability method (IFORM). This study can provide a reference for the construction of the joint probability model of wind parameters.
