10、AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS SECTION 3: LOADS 3-173.8.6Gust Effect Factor G C3.8.6 The gust effect factor, G, shall be taken as a minimum of 1.14. G is the gust effect factor and it adjusts the effective velocity pressure for the dynamic interaction of the structure with the gust of the wind. Information pre

11、sented in ASCE/SEI 7-10 states that if the fundamental frequency of a structure is less than one Hz or if the ratio of the height to least horizontal dimension is greater than 4, the structure should be designed as a wind-sensitive structure. Thus, virtually all structures addressed by these Specifi

12、cations should be classified as wind-sensitive structures based on the height to least horizontal dimension ratio. It is not appropriate to use a nonwind-sensitive gust effect factor, G, for the design of sign, luminaire, and traffic signal structures. Special procedures are presented in the comment

13、ary of ASCE/SEI 7 for the calculation of the gust effect factor for wind-sensitive structures. The ASCE/SEI 7 calculation procedure requires reasonable estimates of critical factors such as the damping ratio and fundamental frequency of the structure. These factors are site and structure dependent.

14、Relatively small errors in the estimation of these factors result in significant variations in the calculated gust effect factor. Therefore, even though sign, luminaire, and traffic signal support structures are wind sensitive, the benefits of using the ASCE/SEI 7 gust effect factor calculation proc

15、edure do not outweigh the complexities introduced by its use. If the designer wishes to perform a more rigorous gust effect analysis, the procedures presented in ASCE/SEI 7 may be used with permission of the Owner. 3.8.7Drag Coefficients C d C3.8.7 The wind drag coefficient, Cd, shall be determined

16、from Table 3.8.7-1. Cv shall be taken as: Cv = 0.8 for the Extreme Limit State Cv= 1.0 otherwise The wind drag coefficients in Table 3.8.7-1 were established based upon the work of several research projects as noted in the footnotes. Some coefficients are a strong function of Reynolds number. The te

17、rm CvVd is a simplified form of Reynolds using units convenient for LTS design. The algebraic form of these equations is somewhat different ; however, the behavior is similar as illustrated in Figure C3.8.7-1 and C3.8.7-1 and C3.8.7-2 where different shapes and equations are shown. The typical extre

18、me event wind speed is 105 mph or greater. Therefore, for diameters 8-in. or greater, the Cdis associated with the turbulent case, CvVd 78 mph-ft, and the Cdis a constant (rightmost column of Table 3.8.7-1). For smaller members, ASCE/SEI 07-10 wind speeds will tend to lower the Cdterm compared to pa

19、st practice. The Cvterm at the extreme limit state adjusts the wind speed to correspond to past drag coefficients used for elements subject to wind. For the fatigue limit state, the wind speeds are on the order of 10 mph and the CvVd will be low and the Cdwill be the larger value in the leftmost col

20、umn of Table 3.8.7-1. Between these extremes, the equations can the be used. This observation simplifies the load application where speed varies with height, etc. The reliability calibration used these bounds in determining the load and resistance factors.

These effects can cause considerable variation NCHRP Report 718 is the basis for fatigue loads identified in this section. Prior to 2012, these Specifica

30、tions made no distinction between high-mast lighting towers and other signal or sign support structures. Failures resulting from wind-induced fatigue led to field testing, laboratory wind tunnel testing, and analytical studies to determine appropriate load models for the fatigue design of HMLTs. The

31、 combined wind load specified for HMLTs was derived from the effects of the entire wind-load spectrum and therefore includes all ranges of wind speed. It is recocognized that the drag coefficient varies with wind speed. The value of PFLSis intended to produce the same fatigue damage generated by the

32、 variable amplitude spectrum using a single equivalent constant amplitude load (PCW). PFLSwas derived using constant values of Cd(using Section 3) and the values of PCWmeasured at each pole (NCHRP 718) to simplify the approach. Hence use of values other than those in Section 3 will result in erroneo

33、us estimates of PCW. The in-service performance of HMLTs shorter than 55 ft appears to suggest that fatigue is not a critical limit state. Cracking has been primarily observed in HMLTs greater than 100 ft tall. The limit of 55 ft was selected somewhat arbitrarily to be well below the 100 ft height.

34、However, although these specifications do not require HMLTs shorter than 55 ft to be designed for fatigue, fatigue resistance details should be selected and careful installation practices followed. If the Engineer suspects that the HMLT will be subjected to high yearly mean wind speeds, the HMLT is

35、placed in a location where local wind effects may be great (e.g., on a bluff), or previous performance of similar HMLTs 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

For locations with more detailed wind records, the yearly mean wind velocity may be modified at the discretion of the Owner. has been poor, consideration should be given to designing

37、 the structure for fatigue using the provisions contained herein. For normal installations, the height shall be defined as the distance from the bottom of the base plate to the tip of the pole, not including the distance the lighting fixture may extend beyond the top. The fatigue-limit-state static

38、pressure range values listed in Table 11.7.2-1 account for fatigue importance factors and variation in mean wind speed. The combined wind pressure range includes the cumulative fatigue damage effects of vortex shedding. Figure 11.7.2-1 serves as a broad guide for determining regional mean wind speed

39、. Local conditions are known to vary and may not necessarily be represented by the map. NCHRP Reports 412 and 718 found the design method to be conservative in most cases; however, designers are encouraged to check local wind records and/or consider topographical effects in choosing a yearly mean wi

40、nd speed for design if the local wind conditions are suspected to be more severe than suggested by Figure 11.7.2-1. It is not recommended to use design pressure ranges less than suggested by Figure 11.7.2-1. Table 11.7.2-1Fatigue-Limit-Sta te Pressure Range for HMLT Design, PFLS Fatigue Design Case

Excessiv

All connections shall be detailed as required in Article 5.6. of these structures in the field and determined

47、 that the previous edition did not properly quantify vortex shedding. Rather than separate the effect of vortex shedding from all other wind phenomena, a loading spectrum was developed to encompass all possible wind load effects. The fatigue-limit-state static wind pressures listed in Table 11.7.2-1

48、 represent this combined wind load effect. Maintenance and serviceability issues resulting from vortex shedding may have a detrimental effect on the performance of HMLTs. Issues with anchor bolts loosening and rattling of the luminaire have been known to occur. Where fatigue-prone details exist whic

49、h may shorten the life of HMLTs due to a lower fatigue resistance than initially considered, or in cases where the service life of an HMLT initially designed for a finite lifetime may wish to be extended, mitigation devices have proved reliable in reducing the number of damaging stress cycles. Information pertaining to the performance and sizing of strakes and shrouds on HMLTs is presented in NCHRP Report 718 and FHWA-WY-10/02F Report Reduction of Wind-Induced Vibrations in High-mast Light Poles (Ahearn
