Wind loading of lightweight bridge-like structure
Hrubý, Pavel ; Kala, Jiří (referee) ; Nevařil, Aleš (advisor)
The present thesis is concerned with air flow over lightweight footbridge. Special attention is paid to flow-induced instabilities. The thesis opens with a theoretical elaboration on the phenomena related to the research matter. The next part investigates air flow over footbridge in a specific situation using numerical simulation in the Ansys CFX software. Finally, results are discussed in the light of chosen theoretical framework and relevant conclusions are presented.
Aerodynamic wind tunnel testing of U-beams
Hračov, Stanislav ; Macháček, Michael
The paper presents the outcomes from the experimental testing of the set of slender U-beams in the climatic wind tunnel. All analysed beams have identical basic geometry with the U-shaped cross section given by the side ratio equal to 2 (having the short side perpendicular to the flow), but they differ in the porosity of their flanges and in the depth of their profile. Two depths of the U-profile combined with six different levels of flange porosity are analysed. The U-beams were tested in the smooth flow in order to determine their aerodynamic coefficients for various angles of wind attack. The influences of the depth and porosity onto these coefficients are studied in detail. Moreover, the susceptibility of each individual case to transversal galloping is assessed based on the classical quasi-steady theory. The comparison with the results from the aerodynamic tests of the prisms with rectangular cross-sections having side rations equal to two, four and six is also given and discussed.
