Development of a Tamar Bridge Finite Element Model R. J. Westgate, J. M. W. Brownjohn The University of Sheffield Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Sheffield, United Kingdom, S1 3JD cip08rjw@sheffield.ac.uk ABSTRACT As part of an ongoing long-term monitoring research project, a finite element model has been developed to model the behavior of the Tamar Bridge in Plymouth, UK. The structure is a suspension bridge which underwent significant remedial and expansion work, including the addition of stay cables to the support structure. This paper presents the production of the model, with holistic static and modal responses of the two cable structural systems acting together. Keywords: structural health monitoring, hybrid, environmental, finite element, non-linear 1 INTRODUCTION Finite element (FE) analyses are used in conjunction with long-term monitoring of structures, to predict static and dynamic responses under various loads. In the context of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) research, FE models are often used to simulate conditions that the researcher may wish to emulate with data recorded from the real-life structure. The structural systems of suspension bridges are complicated compared to other bridges, since they rely on the equilibrium of the deck with the tensions in the cables. The behaviour of the bridge is non-linear, due to the non- compressive strength of cables and hangers, and the movements at the bearings. Suspensions bridges that are a hybrid of suspension and stay cable support systems may be created as a result of improvements to support increased traffic levels. The number of papers concerning hybrid suspension bridges is limited, and only touch upon the theory. A more detailed approach to model these two systems together, which indi- vidually are self-configuring and non-linear processes, would be a welcome contribution to the theoretical modelling of tension structures. This paper presents a methodology for creating a FE model for this type of suspension bridge, and how the static deflection of the bridge was optimised to get as close to zero displacement as possible. This paper follows a different method compared to other published works [1] and considers the cable forces are all contributing simultaneously. A simple parametric sensitivity study has also been presented, to demonstrate how the components of the hybrid suspension bridge contributes to its natural frequencies. 2 BRIDGE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The Tamar Bridge shown in figure 1 carries the A38 trunk road across the River Tamar from Saltash in Cornwall to Plymouth in Devon, and is financed by its toll income for traffic usage. It was first opened in 1961, with a design by Mott Hay and Anderson, as a bridge supported by suspension cables and a truss girder. It has a main span of 335m and symmetrical side spans of 114m. Accompanied by anchorage and support spans, it achieves a span of Figure 1: Photograph of the Tamar Suspension Bridge, Plymouth, UK 642m. The main towers are constructed out of reinforced concrete, seated on caisson foundations and are 73m tall, with the deck suspended halfway up. The truss is 15.2m wide and 4.9m deep, consisting of rectangular hollow sections, and originally supported a concrete deck. The suspension bridge cables are 0.38m thick, consisting of 31 steel locked cable ropes of 60mm diameter. Vertical locked coil hangers are at 9.2m centers and are 50mm in diameter. During its life it has supported vehicles loads in excess of its design capacity. The bridge subsequently underwent a strengthening and widening (upgrading) scheme that was completed in December 2001. This involved adding a lane each side of its truss via cantilevers, and replacing the concrete deck with an orthotropic steel deck with shear boxes. Additionally, there was an installation of sixteen 100mm diameter stay cables, spanning from the main towers to either the truss or the side towers. The bridge is continuous at the Plymouth tower, whilst a lateral thrust girder forms an expansion joint at the Saltash tower. 3 FINITE ELEMENT MODELING A high resolution 3D FE model was developed for the studies of a long term health monitoring project, intended as a numerical representation of the suspension bridge, and a research tool for investigating its performance under varying environmental conditions, such as ambient temperature and wind. The program of choice was ANSYS. Truss elements were designed as beam elements with six degrees of freedom at each node, shell elements were used for the plates on the deck and the towers, and cables were modelled as tension-only spar elements. Boundary conditions and movement joints are a necessary evil for the analyst; they have to imitate the behaviour of the actual structure correctly, whilst at a resolution agreeable for the whole model. Vertical hinges connecting the truss to a seat on each tower were treated as beam elements with rotational resistance released in the span-wise direction, and the lateral thrust girder was implemented in a similar way. The bridge model is fully fixed at the bases of the towers, and at the road-adjoined side-spans. 4 INTERNAL FORCE EQUILIBRIUM The following section documents the various steps followed to ensure that the forces acting within the suspension and stay cables would provide a neutral profile under dead loading conditions. Modal solutions from the FE analyses are compared to previously obtained results [2] by their frequencies and order of mode shapes, as another measure for the model’s accuracy. 4.1 ACCEPTABLE PROFILE SHAPE The first step was to ensure that the finite element model was distorting into a reasonable shape when vertical loads were applied to it. This involved iterating the strains in the suspension cables until the displacements in the deck were minimised. For a suspension bridge, this involves adjusting the main-span and side-span suspension cables, and the stay cables, at every iterative step, to ensure that the deflections in the spans and towers remained small. The secant iteration method was used to find the cable tension at dead load to reach a suitable profile, since a derivative of the target function is not a requirement within its formula. This is useful when the combination of two variables in the structural system makes linear interpretation impossible, and the equation defining a suitable structural stiffness is indeterminate. The bi-variable form is: − − −1 F (xn ,yn) F (xn−1,yn−1) F (xn,yn) F (xn−1,yn−1) x + x − − F (x , y ) n 1 = n − xn xn−1 yn yn−1 n n G x ,y −G x ,y G x ,y −G x ,y (4.1) y y ( n n) ( n−1 n−1) ( n n) ( n−1 n−1) G(x , y ) n+1 n − − n n " xn xn−1 yn yn−1 # where x and y are variables, F (x, y) and G(x, y) are functions of the variables and n is the present iterative step number. The first pass minimised the vertical deflection on the main span, and the span-wise deflection of the tips of the towers, using the forces in the main and side span suspension as the variables. This setup provided an ‘M’ shaped sinusoidal deflected shape on the main span, as shown in figure 2, which are a result of the stay cable forces. The side spans had inadequately large vertical deflections, and a simple study showed that this behaviour still existed when there was zero initial forces in the cables. This precluded a reconsideration of the side-cable profile. Figure 2: Initial deflected shape. The gradient of the side-span suspension cables was made at an 11 degree angle to the horizontal at the side towers, which was taken from a past construction paper of the Tamar Bridge by Anderson [3]. The reformed profile produced deflections of 0.1m, which were acceptable. Due to the ‘M’ deflected shape the minimised outcome was modified to be the mean result of the mid-span and quarterly deflections, along with the deflections of the towers. Least squares method was attempted, but this lead to divergence in the iteration process. 4.2 CABLE FORCE ASSEMBLIES The forces applied in the cables were adjusted to provide a reasonable performance of the bridge. This was achieved by analysing the deflections and modal properties of the suspension bridge, in the structural configurations it was in at 1961 and 2001. These two scenarios were used to check that values of the cable forces could be translated to both stages in the bridge’s life comfortably. Modal properties from 1961 were taken from a paper by Williams [4], written before the expansion work. Results from 2001 are in a paper by Brownjohn [2]. Two candidates for possible assemblies were determined: 1. Zeroed mass and initial forces in 2001 elements, and added a concrete deck with iteration of suspension cable strains. • Followed by non-zeroing previous elements, and iterated stay-cable forces. 2. Used stay cable forces found from site tests, and iterated main suspension cable only. These arrangements were applied in the finite element model, and static and modal solutions were obtained. The results are presented in tables 1 and 2. Table 1: Test arrangements for the Tamar Bridge - Deflections. Applied Forces(×104kN) Displacement (m) Year Arrangement Main susp. Side susp.

  • Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.

  • The RIVER TAMAR from GUNNISLAKE STATION
    The RIVER TAMAR from GUNNISLAKE STATION Once again we met at Gunnislake Station for a walk in the Tamar Valley which today focused on two different periods in time, both of which occurred before the railway even reached this area. The weather this morning was overcast but mild so it was ideal for walking and Maggie had even given us a bit longer than usual so everybody could enjoy the scenery and not rush past like last time. So, with Rosy by my side and everyone else following close behind, we left the station around 10am and wound our way up along quiet paths towards the hamlet of Delaware. Safely across the main road into Delaware Road, a short walk led to Delaware Farm where we turned right to follow a footpath and from here to the river we walked along what many believe was once the medieval packhorse route linking Tavistock with Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall. This was by far the most practical way to transport goods right through the dark ages and the medieval period when there were very few roads in the countryside. At that time Britain relied on these meandering trails and lanes to send and receive goods and the sure-footed mules, oxen and horses would carry immense loads balanced on their backs. Grain, fodder, fleeces, cloth and other agricultural products were carried between market towns on the backs of a string of animals often escorted by just one or two men. Later, to save the animals having to wade through the water, three local stone bridges were erected to span the River Tamar, all were to the same design, they were New Bridge at Gunnislake and Horsebridge and Greystone Bridge further upstream.

  • Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Water
    Foreword As partners of the Tamar Estuaries Consultative Forum (TECF) we acknowledge the recommendations outlined in the Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Water Transportation Study in principal, and are prepared to broadly support these recommendations through the work of each of our individual organisations. It is recognised that there are a number of water transportation related projects currently being investigated. Feasibility studies and other information searches being undertaken as part of these projects will contribute to further clarify, the viability and sustainability of a water transportation network, and the options for integrating water transportation with other transportation systems. These studies will also contribute to providing a more focused assessment of the shore-based infrastructure and service requirements and an overview of the potential employment opportunities that would be generated. Relying on the Water Transportation Study as a basis for information, additional, more detailed information, especially that generated from primary data collection and analysis, will be integrated, in order to support and inform decision makers in the wider strategic debate on the future integrated transport proposals for Plymouth and the Tamar Estuaries. It is noted that all initiatives contributing to the development of water transportation in the estuary and sound, place primary importance on reducing environmental risk.

These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Structural Health Monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge
    Structural health monitoring of the Tamar Suspension Bridge K.Y. Kooa, J.M.W. Brownjohna,∗, D.I. Listb, R. Coleb aSir Frederick Mappin Building, Mappin Street, University of Sheffield, S1 3JD, UK bTamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee, Plymouth, UK Abstract This paper presents experiences and lessons from the structural health moni- toring practice on the Tamar Bridge in Plymouth, UK, a 335m span suspension bridge opened in 1961. After 40 years of operations the bridge was strength- ened and widened in 2001 to meet a European Union requirement to carry heavy goods vehicles up to 40 tonnes weight, a process in which additional stay cables and cantilever decks were added and the composite deck was replaced with a lightweight orthotropic steel deck. At that time a structural monitoring system comprising wind, temperature, cable tension and deck level sensors was installed to monitor the bridge behaviour during and after the upgrading. In 2006 and 2009 respectively, a dynamic response monitoring system with real time modal parameter identification and a three-dimensional total positioning system were added to provide a more complete picture of the bridge behavior, and in 2006 a one day ambient vibration survey of the bridge was carried out to characterize low frequency vibration modes of the suspended structure. Practical aspects of the instrumentation and data processing & management are discussed and some key response observations are presented. The bridge is a surprisingly com- plex structure with a number of inter-linked load-response mechanisms evident, all of which have to be characterized as part of a long term structural health monitoring exercise.
