Abstract

Abstract

A probabilistic superposition approach was proposed for investigating the extreme load effects of stochastic traffic flows with multiple densities.The approach was utilized to extrapolate the extreme values of vehicle load effects on the long-span bridges using the measured traffic data.The principle of superposing level-crossing rate based on the Rice's formula was explained, and its validity was proved.Three types of stochastic traffic flows, including the sparse flow, normal flow and dense flow, were simulated based on the long-term monitored traffic data of a highway bridge in China, and the maximum bending moment of a concrete cable-stayed bridge was analyzed based on the level-crossing superposition model.Analysis result shows that basedon the measured traffic data of a highway, the densities of free flow, normal flow and busy flow are 1.7, 5.0 and 8.3 veh·min-1, respectively.In the numerical example, when the occupancy of 45 t-vehicles increases from 0 to 80%, the maximum vehicle mass decreases by only 1.2%.But when the occupancy of 50 t-vehicles increases from 0 to 20%, the maximum vehicle mass decreases by 14.4%.This phenomenon indicates that the extreme value of a non-equilibrium random process composed by some stationary random processes is mostly depended on the random processes with higher values.The maximum extrapolating error of the maximum vehicle mass is2.55%for the mixed traffic flow using the level-crossing superposition approach, which explains that the extrapolating approach of extreme load effects on long-span bridges based on the principle of vehicle dispersion and superposition of extreme value probability is feasible.The increase of occupancy of dense traffic flow from 0 to 5%leads to an amplification of 33.45%for the maximum bending moment of the girder of a cable-stayed bridge.When the annual traffic growth rate of a cable-stayed bridge is 2.8%in the design lifetime, the probability that the midspan extreme bending moment of the bridge girder exceeds the design standard value is 0.83 and higher than the design requirements, therefore, it is deserved to take some measures to control the traffic flow.
