Abstract
The elongating of cablestayed bridge brings a series of aerodynamic problems. First of all, geometric nonlinear effect of extreme long cable is much more significant for cablestayed bridge spanning over one thousand meters. Lateral static wind load will generate additional displacement of long cables, which causes the decrease of supporting rigidity of the whole bridge and the change of dynamic properties. Wind load, being the controlling load in the design of cablestayed bridge, is a critical problem and needs to be solved. Meanwhile, research on suitable system between pylon and deck indicates fixedfixed connection system is an effective way for improvement performance of cablestayed bridges under longitudinal wind load. In order to obtain aerodynamic parameters of cablestayed bridge spanning over one thousand meters, identification method for flutter derivatives of full bridge aeroelastic model is developed in this paper. Furthermore, vortex induced vibration and Reynolds number effect are detailed discussed.
