Dynamic Response Analysis of Train–Vehicle–Bridge System Under Train-Induced Winds

Abstract

For rail-cum-road bridges with single-level arrangement, there are not only dynamic interference, but also aerodynamic interference between trains and vehicles, which means that the train-induced winds generated by high-speed trains are non-negligible for vehicles. In this work, the test method of moving vehicle model is used to test the aerodynamic characteristics of vehicles under train-induced winds. Then, the model of coupled vibration of train–vehicle–bridge system considering train-induced winds is established. Finally, taking a rail-cum-road bridge with single-level arrangement as an example, the coupled vibration of train–vehicle–bridge system considering train-induced winds is analyzed, and the influence of train-induced winds, lateral spacing between trains and vehicles on train–vehicle–bridge system is discussed. The results show that train-induced winds decrease with the increase of the lateral spacing between trains and vehicles. Without considering train-induced winds, the moving train has a greater impact on the vertical response of the vehicle, and a smaller impact on the lateral response of the vehicle. When considering train-induced winds, the lateral response of the vehicle increases significantly, but decreases with the increase of the lateral spacing. In addition, road conditions and the setting of anti-dazzle plates can change traffic safety under train-induced winds.
