摘要：This paper investigates the vortex-induced vibration of a twin steel box girder suspension bridge with a centre span of 1650 m based on field measurements. Two ultrasonic anemometers, two tri-axial accelerometers and 52 wind pressure sensors are installed at the quarter span section. The other 20 pressure sensors are installed in another 5 sections, and each section has 4 pressure sensors. Four vortex-induced oscillation events are measured. The analytical results indicate that the vortex-induced vibration more likely occurs in a low wind speed range of 6-10 m/s, with the wind direction nearly perpendicular to the bridge line, and low turbulence intensity. The mean pressure distribution on the surface of the bridge deck is obtained and the characteristics of fluctuant pressures are analysed by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method. Moreover, the spatial-temporal evolution of flow around the bridge deck is investigated. The results indicate that in the beginning stage of vortex-induced resonance, the regular vortex shedding phenomena occur only in the gap of the deck and at tailing region of downstream deck; however, when in the lock-in stage, the vortex shedding is strengthened due to the dramatic vibration, and the regular vortex shedding phenomena extend to the entire lower surface of downstream deck and the tail of upstream deck, the vortex shedding regions in the gap and lower surface link together. In the lock-in range, the span-wise correlation of the wind pressure is analysed, and the correlations of wind pressure along the bridge line are very high and do not decrease with the increase in distance.
