Abstract

To study the impact of vehicle moving on bridge, the bump occurring under the determined limit conditions of vehicle from no bump to the beginning of bump was named as slight and frequent vehicle bump. With a 1/4 simplified vehicle model and the Euler-Bernoulli bridge model, the required minimum impact height for the bump and the effect of bump impact on the vertical dynamic mid-span displacement response of bridge were figured out in different vehicle speed, axle load and wheel diameter. The simulation analysis by ANSYS software, with HSFLD242 unit simulating air inside the tire and MASS21 simulating the car weight held by tires, verified the results of the minimum impact height. The effect of bump impact on the vertical dynamic mid-span displacement response of bridge was also verified by observation using the TCQN-6A bridge deflection detector on the mid-span dynamic deflection of a 25-metre simply supported beam bridge.
