Wind actions on long-span bridges are commonly considered as the superimposition of buffeting forces and self-excited forces, depending on the aerodynamic admittance functions and on the flutter derivatives, respectively. Since bridge deck sections are bluff bodies, the aerodynamic admittance functions and the flutter derivatives have to be determined experimentally by wind tunnel tests. This paper introduces a generalized quasi-static theory, defining new relationships among the flutter derivatives and the aerodynamic admittance functions. All the relationships are theoretically verified for the zero circular frequency; based upon experimental results, the validation of the relationships among the flutter derivatives is also provided for non-zero values of the frequency.

Abstract

Wind actions on long-span bridges are commonly considered as the superimposition of buffeting forces and self-excited forces, depending on the aerodynamic admittance functions and on the flutter derivatives, respectively. Since bridge deck sections are bluff bodies, the aerodynamic admittance functions and the flutter derivatives have to be determined experimentally by wind tunnel tests. This paper introduces a generalized quasi-static theory, defining new relationships among the flutter derivatives and the aerodynamic admittance functions. All the relationships are theoretically verified for the zero circular frequency; based upon experimental results, the validation of the relationships among the flutter derivatives is also provided for non-zero values of the frequency.
