Original Abstract

The article summarises results of research aimed at determination of hydrodynamic load using numerical simulations and their verification on physical model. The practical application was performed on a simple rectangular bridge with adjacent sidewalks. Hydrodynamic load on the bridge deck was separated into three actions. Those are the drag force, lift force, and bedding moment at the centre of gravity of the bridge deck. Hydrodynamic load was expressed via dimensionless resistance coefficients that correspond to combination of the flow properties and determined (measured and calculated) forces. Results of the research show quite good agreement in case of mean value of drag and lift force. In case of bedding moment the agreement was found in absolute value of the moment but not in direction.

Keywords

hydrodynamic load, bridge, drag force, lift force, bedding moment, resistance coefficients.
