Dynamic Behavior of Cable Supported Bridges Affected by Corrosion Mechanisms under
Moving Loads
Excerpt from the Proceedings of the 2012 COMSOL Conference in Milan
INTRODUCTION TO LONG SPAN CABLE SUPPORTED BRIDGE
Suspended Bridge Cable-Stayed Bridge
Long slender structures
High dynamic amplification effects on the structure are expected
TYPES OF BRIDGES
KEY FEATURES AND STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
Initial Configuration: Specific initial stresses in the suspension system to ensure that the deck stays in the undeformed configuration during the application of the dead loads
Several damage phenomena, which produce a reduction of the mechanical properties of the bridge constituents
Live loads are comparable with the dead load

SUMMARY
Review the main equations of the bridge in a dynamic framework
Develop the finite element implementation and a parametric study to quantify numerically the dynamic amplification effects produced by the moving loads for the cases of damaged and undamaged structures
Analyze the structural behavior of cable system reproducing local vibration effects, by means of a geometric non-linear approach and an explicit damage law for the corrosion mechanisms.
Reproduce accurately the inertial description of the moving loads including non-standard forces produced relative motion with the girder

A partial damage in the anchor cable is able to produce high amplifications of the bridge displacements with respect to the undamaged configuration
Speed-dependent amplification
CONCLUDING REMARKS
A general model to predict the dynamic response of long span bridges is proposed including the effects of the local vibration of the stays, the damage mechanisms due to corrosion phenomena and moving loads/girder interaction
Cable-stayed bridges are much more affected by the presence of the damage and the transit speed of the moving loads, since larger values of the bridge displacements with respect to the undamaged configuration are observed
In the framework of cable-stayed bridges, the analyses, denote that the presence of a partial damage in the anchor cable is able to produce high amplifications of the bridge displacements with respect to the undamaged configuration
Analysis are developed for cable supported bridges based on both suspension and cable-stayed configurations, adopting similar properties for the main constituents of the bridge structures, i.e. girder, cable system and pylons
The bridge deformations are quite dependent for the assumed damage scenario
The presence of corrosion in the main cable suspension bridges significantly increases displacements already low-speed
