Abstract:
The paper presents the output data-only dynamic testing on a steel-girder cable-stayed bridge over the Ohio River at Maysville, Kentucky, USA. The bridge has a total length of 2,100 ft. with the cable-stayed span being 1,050 ft. long. The field dynamic testing was carried out just prior to opening the bridge in order to obtain the baseline dynamic characteristics of the bridge. Loaded trucks were run to excite dynamic response of the bridge. The acceleration responses of 80 deck stations were recorded as trucks drove a high-speed pass and a slower bump-and-brake pass. Both the peak picking method in frequency domain and the stochastic subspace identification method in time domain are used for the output data-only system identification. A good agreement of identified frequencies has been found between two methods. The dynamic test results will be used to establish the baseline finite element model that reflects the built-up structural conditions for the long-term structural evaluation, damage identification and health monitoring of the bridge.
