Experimental Study of Static Aerodynamic Coefficients of Bridge Section

Abstract

With HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge as the engineering background, through the section model wind tunnel test, research into the influence of vibration damping measure to the static aerodynamic coefficients of the structure, so as to seek to improve structural characteristics. The influencing factors of static aerodynamic coefficients including the guide plate position, the central trough opening rate, baluster drafty rate, repair car track position, windbreak, and vehicle. The results show that the changes of the static aerodynamic coefficients directly affect the static wind loads, and the influence of changes of these parameters to the static wind load cannot be ignored.
