Evaluating the Dynamic Response of the Bridge-Vehicle System considering Random Road Roughness Based on the Moment Method

The bridge-vehicle interaction (BVI) system vibration is caused by the vehicles passing through the bridge. The road roughness has a great impact on the system vibration. In this regard, poor road roughness is known to affect the comfort of the vehicle crossing the bridge and aggravate the fatigue d...

description The bridge-vehicle interaction (BVI) system vibration is caused by the vehicles passing through the bridge. The road roughness has a great impact on the system vibration. In this regard, poor road roughness is known to affect the comfort of the vehicle crossing the bridge and aggravate the fatigue damage of the bridge. Road roughness is usually regarded as a random process in numerical calculation. To fully consider the influence of road roughness randomness on the response of the BVI system, a random BVI model was established. Thereafter, the random process of road roughness was expressed by Karhunen–Loeve expansion (KLE), after which the moment method was used to calculate the maximum probability value of the BVI system response. The proposed method has higher accuracy and efficiency than the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) calculation method. Subsequently, the influences of vehicle speed, roughness grade, and bridge span on the impact factor (IMF) were analyzed. The results show that the road roughness grade has a greater impact on the bridge IMF than the bridge span and vehicle speed.
