Abstract

To explore the influence of bridge wind barriers, with their specific opening shapes and arrangements, on bridge deck wind fields and vehicle driving stability under different crosswinds, five bridge wind barrier schemes were designed. For two incoming wind speeds, the wind speed at different heights over three traffic lanes and the aerodynamic six-component force of the vehicle model were measured, and the influence of the wind barrier parameters on the vehicle driving stability was analyzed. The equivalent wind speed reduction coefficient of the wind barrier was compared with the dimensionless coefficients of the aerodynamic side force, roll moment, and aerodynamic lift to verify the accuracy of the shielding effect evaluation indices. The final conclusions provide a useful reference for designing bridge wind barriers.
