Abstract

All right reserved. This paper presents a correlation analysis of modal frequencies and temperatures in the cable-stayed Ting Kau Bridge by use of measurement data. 45 accelerometers (a total of 67 channels) and 83 temperature sensors have been installed on the bridge for long-term monitoring. Based on one-year measurement data from selected sensors, variations of average temperatures measured at the bridge steel girder, deck concrete, asphalt and air are observed at one-hour intervals and statistically analyzed. Natural frequencies of the first eleven modes are also identified at one-hour intervals, and their variation ranges, mean values and standard deviations are determined from 770-hour sample data covering one-year cycle of environmental and operational conditions. Then the identified modal frequencies and the temperatures measured at the steel girder and deck concrete are used for correlation analysis. An inversely proportional trend in modal frequencies with temperature is found in this bridge.
