Wind tunnel study of global wind loads on a swing bridge
conference paper
A wind tunnel study on the global wind loads of two side-by-side swing bridges allowed for a comparison with provisions in NEN 6786-1 and NEN-EN 1991-1-4. Measurements were performed with a dynamic six-component balance in an ABL wind tunnel. A comparison of the results with code provisions shows that NEN-EN 1991-1-4 results in an overestimation of the coefficients Cfx, Cfy, Cfz and Cmx. The coefficients Cfz and Cmz obtained with NEN 6786-1 agree well with the measured result, but the moment coefficient Cmy is underestimated.
