  • Analysis of a bridge structure and its wind barrier under wind loads
    Štrukelj, Andrej, 1962- ; Ciglarič, Iztok ; Pipenbaher, Marjan
    In this paper a study of wind barrier efficiency in terms of traffic safety is analysed. A novel approach to bridge structure design is presented where relevant traffic issues are incorporated into ... an early stage of design procedures. The numerical procedure based on standard turbulence model is applied to calculate the resulting wind forces on the vehicle of arbitrary geometry. The effect of wind barrier geometry placed on both sides of the viaduct on resulting wind forces is analysed. The applied numerical procedure has been experimentally verified in a wind tunnel laboratory. Complex multibody models that could be used to analyse vehicle manoeuvring and riding dynamics are shown. Further, vehicle models are used to show how the resulting wind forces could affect vehicle dynamics and traffic safety issues. Relevant traffic safety situations are considered and discussed for a particular wind barrier.
