Role of Cable Forces in the Model Updating of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Publication: Journal of Bridge Engineering
Volume 28, Issue 7

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the feasibility of complete model updating of cable-stayed bridges using experimental estimates of the cable forces and modal parameters. The procedure is applied to the model updating of a curved cable-stayed bridge in Venice (Italy). Conventional optimization problems of mass and stiffness using ambient vibration data are prone to ill-posedness and ill-conditioning. Generally, the scholar must assume one of the two to achieve a trustworthy optimization. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to assess a large set of parameters affecting the mass and stiffness of a cable-stayed bridge following a step-wise procedure based on ambient vibration tests. Preliminary variance-based sensitivity analysis supports the reduction in the number of parameters to be calibrated. Then, the selected parameters are tuned using a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. In the considered case study, the sensitivity analyses highlight the significance of the following: the concrete mass, the vertical stiffness of the bearings, and the concrete Young’s modulus of the deck and the tower. However, optimizing all the unknowns using a single objective function does not lead to optima within the search domain. Therefore, the authors show that a three-step optimization is required in the considered case study to achieve convergence within the parameters’ space. As a result, all the twelve modes of the calibrated model perfectly match the experimental ones, with the modal assurance criterion (MAC) higher than 0.9. In addition, the cable forces of the calibrated model present a good match with the experimental ones, with an average percentage error equal to 11%.
