Abstract
The side openings of bridges affect the aerodynamic characteristics of bridges, but the detailed mechanism is not completely clear. To investigate the effect of side openings on galloping instability, wind tunnel tests were conducted to measure the aerodynamic forces and surface pressures on a model of a rectangular cylinder with two types of side openings and a side ratio is 2. As a result, it was clarified that the onset wind velocity of galloping was controlled by the flow exiting the model which was affected by the shape of the side opening, and that the excitation force of galloping was controlled by the distance between the separating flow and the model.
