Musi VI Bridge is planned to cross the Musi River in Palembang City, South Sumatera Province, Indonesia. The main span is a steel arch type with 200 m length and side span length is 75 m. Finite element analysis results showed that the bridge has frequency ratio for torsional and heaving mode (torsional frequency/heaving frequency)... Continue Reading →
Wind Resistant Design of Long Span Bridge at Big Indonesian Canyon
Ngarai Sianok Bridge consists of 3 main spans, each is 170 m. It also has 2 side spans with 87.5 m long. The two center pylons are 173.6 m tall while the height of other 2 pylons is 91 m. Deck is hybrid type that consists of prestressed box girder part, longitudinal steel stringer, cantilever... Continue Reading →
Semi-active tuned mass dampers at Volgograd bridge to suppress vortex induced vibration
On May 20th, 2010, authorities closed the Volgograd Bridge to all motor traffic due to strong oscillations caused by windy conditions. Volgograd Bridge is a concrete girder bridge over the Volga River in the city of Volgograd, Russia. The bridge and adjacent flyovers are 2,514 m long. The bridge, which was inaugurated October 10, 2009... Continue Reading →
Structural and wind monitoring at long span bridge
Long-span bridges are one of the most useful transportation infrastructures to strengthen national unity and to support the development of strategic areas between regions.To ensure safety and comfort for long span bridge, the important technical aspect is the bridge resistance due to wind load. A minor error in bridge construction can impact the whole structure... Continue Reading →
Vortex induced at High Rise Building
Wind load on high rise building are very complex, because of many aspects can effects the phenomenon. For instance: shape of the building, terrain around the building, vortex shedding, pressure fluctuation, etc. Wind flow around the building causes the building to oscillate, along wind, cross wind direction, and torsion. Then, vibration on high rise building... Continue Reading →
Long Span Bridge Sectional Aeroelastic Wind Tunnel Testing
Wind tunnel test of a sectional model has becoming popular in long span bridge design processes. It is convenient to analyze the bridge deck aeroelastic behavior. The model is simple in structure, hence it can reduce the wind tunnel test cost accordingly, compare to full model. However, the model geometrical shape as well as structural dynamic properties...
