Vibration of PC Bridge during Failure Process
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 112, Issue 7
Abstract
A vibration measurement was carried out on an existing prestressed concrete bridge during its failure test. The vertical and horizontal vibrations were measured based on the ambient vibration method. The change of vibrational characteristics due to deterioration of the bridge during the failure test was obtained. Moreover, a measured mechanism on the change of vibrational characteristics is discussed compared with a numerical analysis.
