Abstract

Accurate finite element model of wide steel box-girder bridge is very important for evaluation of structural dynamic performance and structural design. In this paper, a sophisticated finite element model is presented for the wide steel box-girder bridge, modal tests in various stages of construction are carried out based on the field ambient vibration, stochastic subspace identification and peak picking of the average normalized power spectral densities are used to identify the bridge’s dynamic characteristics. Numerical simulation compared with the test result shows that the FEM established in this paper is quite accurate.
