Abstract

Aerodynamic phenomena poses risks for long-span cable-stayed bridge structures, nevertheless, the prevention method is often neglected on older bridges. The effort to reduce the risk and increase the aerodynamic performance of cable-stayed bridges mostly focuses on design and construction stages. This study attempts to improve aerodynamic performance by mitigating the aeroelastic heaving response of an existing bridge structure chosen as the subject, Suramadu Bridge. The approach is made by exploring different options applicable to already built bridges, such as the addition of fairings with varying shapes to modify the shape model of the bridge deck while maintaining the value of vertical and torsional stiffness. The study finds that there is relatively no increase in the lowest margin of critical vortex velocity of the bridge deck with fairing addition compared to the original bridge deck. The amplitude of oscillation caused by aerodynamic lift force is also fairly low since critical vortex velocity occurs in the range of 9.35-9.38 m/s. Upon increasing wind velocity up to the design wind speed of 37.8 m/s, there are significant differences in lift force and amplitude of oscillations. The shape model with the steepest fairing shows a significant decrease in amplitude, up to 35.6% lower than the original bridge deck, indicating a better aerodynamic stability. Meanwhile, the other two shape models show identical and higher amplitude compared to the original bridge deck.

Abstract

Railway bridges are critical infrastructure components that are essential to support and maintain the integrity of major rail transportation networks. Indonesia is located in a tectonic zone known as the Ring of Fire. Risk assessment of these bridges is critical. This research not only considers the physical condition or vulnerability of the bridge itself but also the risk posed by earthquakes and the level of importance of the bridge. The research was conducted on 4 bridges located in East Java Province, namely the BH-129, BH-262, BH-275, and BH-314 Bridges. The rating factor, hazard level, and importance factor influence the risk level. The assessment process starts by using the Bridge Management System (BMS) method and Structure Analysis Program (SAP2000) to assist in calculating the Rating factor. Determining the level of danger by referring to the Earthquake Hazards Map and the Indonesian Earthquake Code (SNI 2833: 2016), The importance is taken based on the level of operational importance of the bridge referring to the same standard. The results show that the four bridges have the same risk value of 0.7809 for each bridge. The results underscore the urgent need for proactive measures to reduce the potential adverse impacts of bridge structure failure. Recommended interventions include strengthening structural elements, increasing inspection frequency, improving maintenance protocols, and, if necessary, replacing compromised structures. These strategies are critical due to the high risk and significant impact on rail safety and operations, especially in areas prone to natural disasters. The results of this study reinforce the urgency of improving the resilience of bridge infrastructure to earthquake threats to maintain the stability and safety of rail transportation in Indonesia.
