| Title: | Direct Field Measurement of the Dynamic Amplification in a Bridge | Authors: | Carey, Ciaran; O'Brien, Eugene J.; Malekjafarian, Abdollah; Lydon, Myra; Taylor, Su E. | Permanent link: | http://hdl.handle.net/10197/8782 | Date: | 15-Feb-2017 | Abstract: | In this paper, the level of dynamics, as described by the Assessment Dynamic Ratio (ADR), is measured directly through a field test on a bridge in the United Kingdom. The bridge was instrumented using fiber optic strain sensors and piezo-polymer weigh-in-motion sensors were installed in the pavement on the approach road. Field measurements of static and static-plus-dynamic strains were taken over 45 days. The results show that, while dynamic amplification is large for many loading events, these tend not to be the critical events. ADR, the allowance that should be made for dynamics in an assessment of safety, is small. | Funding Details: | Irish Research Council Science Foundation Ireland |
