摘要:
The invention provides a construction comprising a structural element and at least one cable (101) arranged in tension to carry at least a part of the weight of the structural element. The cable defines an outer surface (102) onto which at least one strake (104) forms a protrusion for reducing rain and wind induced vibrations. The strake has a height being a distance from a strake root part connected to the outer surface of the cable and a strake end part terminating the strake outwards away from the cable, and the strake has a width being transverse to the height, the width decreasing in the direction from the strake root part towards the strake end part. The height is less than 5 percent of the diameter of the cable. Furthermore, the strake comprises a first strake surface portion facing away from the cable, which first strake surface portion is concave or straight.

Anchoring devices and systems are disclosed for use with elongated reinforcement members such as FRP, SRP, metallic bars, or cables. Such devices and systems impart a compressive stress into a static structure having the elongated reinforcement member running there through or there along. An anchoring system can include an anchor block that includes a front end surface for contacting the static structure, an axial bore for receiving the elongated reinforcement member, and clamping members that work with fasteners to provide a clamping force. The bore may be tapered and the fasteners optionally provide different clamping levels to reduce the stress on the elongated reinforcement member near the front end surface. The disclosed systems also include pre-stressing devices that can be used with the disclosed anchor systems, and that can place a tensile force on the elongated reinforcement members to also impart a compressive force on the static structure.

Disclosed is a damping device, particularly for cable-supported structures such as cable-stayed bridges, stadium roofs, and guyed towers comprising a differential cylinder, two hydraulic machines (22, 24), and an electric motor (26). One hydraulic machine (24) acts as a motor while the second hydraulic machine (22) acts as a pump during the damping process, excess hydraulic power being convertible into electric power via the electric motor (26).

A composite material for uses including stay cables and prestressing concrete comprises high strength wire strand coated and impregnated with an impermeable and strongly adherent epoxy based resin. Impregnation and coating are effected by passing a fully formed, cleaned, and heated strand (2) through a known electrostatic powder coating line (6) modified to include a mechanism (5) for temporarily opening successive sections of the strand such that the strand (2) passes into the coating line in an opened state, and the strand wires (12 and 13) are coated with a fused thermosetting epoxy resin before the strand (2) is reclosed, the resin filling the interstices in the reclosed strand (2a). The strand opening mechanism (5) includes a rotatable template (19) with wire guides (19a) for leading the outer spiraled wires (13) of the strand (2) temporarily away from the center wire (12).
摘要:
A method of suspending a bridge-girder of a suspension bridge is provided. The method is characterized in that where the bridge-girder is suspended by main cables supported by main towers through hanger ropes, the central portion of each of a plurality of horizontal beams mounted on each of the main towers in spaced part relationships with one another vertically are connected to the lateral sides of the bridge-girder by means of obliquely extending auxiliary cables 7. According to this suspension method, the torsional natural frequency of the bridge-girder increases so that the flutters and vortex induced oscillation harmful to the bridge-girder are controlled.
摘要:
Suspension bridge comprising, in correspondence of the end piers to which is anchored the catenary for bridge suspension, a structure to interconnect two branches of the suspension bridge framework, a substantially fixed stiff branch (P1) and a substantially flexible branch (P2), each branch comprising three parallel longitudinal, reciprocally spaced, box-like bodies - a central body (S1) and two lateral bodies (S2, S3) - interconnected by transversal ledgers (T) positioned at regular intervals along the bridge. Said interconnecting structure comprises a central body section (S1') forming a fixed joint between the central longitudinal bodies (S1) of each bridge branch; two lateral body sections (S'') mounted slidable in respect of the lateral longitudinal bodies (S2, S3) of each bridge branch; and a hinge joint between said bridge branches (P1, P2) in correspondence of the pier axis. Each of said three longitudinal bodies forms a traffic lane of the bridge, the central continuous body (S1, S1') being meant for railway traffic, and the two lateral discontinuous bodies (S2, S3, S'') being meant for roadway traffic. The central body section (S1') carries at its centre a downwardly projecting anchor base (C1) for a pin (C) being the hingeing point for the lateral bodies of the bridge.
摘要:
Framework for a suspension bridge of the type comprising an essentially flat main structure, the top surface of which forms the traffic lane for the transport means crossing the bridge, anchored to a suspension system formed of a plurality of vertical hangers (6) fixed to catenary cables (5) anchored to end piers of the bridge. The framework consists of at least two parallel longitudinal box-like bodies corresponding to two runways of the bridge, reciprocally spaced by an extent equal to their transversal dimension. Said bodies have a cross section with a profile apt to favour the proper flow of the wind stream and they are interconnected, at regular intervals, by stiff supporting transversal ledgers (4) having in turn a box-like configuration and carrying at their ends means for their anchorage to the suspension hangers (6).

Le procédé permet de façon simple, et sans intervention destructice de matériel, de surveiller le câble et de supprimer rapidement tout phénomène de corrosion sans devoir revernir le câble. On prévoit à cet effet autour du câble une enveloppe en acier spécial (4) étanche, à résistance prolongée et remplie d'azote sous pression circulant dans l'espace annulaire (3) ménagé. L'azote assure un ''séchage subséquent'' et une séparation sûre de l'atmosphère.
