Abstract EN
In order to investigate the effects of water current impact and fluid-structure interaction on the bridge piers, the mechanism of water flow impact on the bridge pier is firstly studied.
Then a finite element model of a bridge pier is established including the effects of water flow impact as well as the water circumferential motion around the pier.
Comparative study is conducted between the results of water impact effect, fluid-structure coupling effect, theoretical analysis, and also the results derived using the formulas specified in the design codes home and abroad.
The results show that the water flow force calculated using the formulas provided by the codes should be multiplied by an impact amplifier to account for the effect of flood impact on the bridge pier.
When the flood flows around the pier, the fluid-structure coupling effect on the bridge pier can be neglected.
The method specified in the China guidelines of General Code for Design of Highway Bridges and Culverts tends to provide a larger result of the water flow force.
