Introduction One of the most important factors tobe considered in bridge design is the dynamic effects created by the interaction between the bridge land the vehicle. Parameters such as the geometry ofthe bridge cross- section, the material properties, the length ofthe span, and the surface roughness constitute the dynamic character of the bridge. Together ‘with these parameters, the weight, stiffness, and speed of the vehicle ‘rossing the bridge determine the dynamic response of the bridge. Io practice, the deflection ofthe bridge under dynamic loading may be ‘greater than the defletion resulting from a static analysis. The static Toads are increased by the values given in the specifications to account for the dynamic effects of vehicles in the design phase, This value is commonly referred to as the “dynamic load allowance” (DLA) or “impact factor” The dynamic load allowance is specified in the specifications as ‘2 function of two main characteristics of the bridge under consider- ‘ation: natural flexural frequency and span length. For example, the Korea Bridge Design Specifications [1) and the Japan Road Associa- tion's Specifications [2] define the impact factor based on the spans, ‘hile the AASHTO LRED Bridge Design Specification (3) specifies & ‘onstant value. Quite different from these specifications, the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code (OHBDC) [4] and the Australian Code (Austroads [5] define the impact factor as @ function of the natural Alexural frequency of the bridge. Jung et al. [5] compared these two different approaches, The authors studied 256 bridges. Approximately 32% ofthe bridges whose impact factor was determined using the span * coreesponding author mal dares caniabupim.com (C Balkaya).

Therefore, it is suggested that using a relationship between natural frequency and impact factor is more realistic and provides more safety. In addition, limiting defection due to live load is mainly used to control undesirable bridge vibration and ensure user comfort through specifications. Le ané Hwang (7) show that frequency-based limitation is more rational than span-based limi- tation to ensure human comfort. In this regard, OHBDC and Austroads tse the natural flexural frequency in eslculating the deformation limit for live load, Due to the significant influence of the natural flexural frequency. fn the dynamic properties of the bridge, many rescarchers have been involved in deriving an easyo-use expression that directly gets the natural frequency of the bridges. For this purpose, regression analysis 's frequent utilized by using the obtained natural frequencies from experimental and numerical studies. Early efforts are frequently carried fut based on the dynamic tests. The suggested expressions are generally kept short using only the span length. Cantieni R. (8) conducted @ series of dynamic tests on 226 bridges (205 prestressed reinforced concrete, 5 reinforced concrete and 14 composite bridges) The author developed an expression for the estimation of fundamental frequency, (400 /ligg,) +05, 9 Which Lng, i the maximum considered span length inmetre. A slightly similar expression, 110/ pg, Was derived by Billing and Green [9] based on the dynamic test results on 27 bridges, Girder depth value was also included with the span length in the proposed expression, f = 588.2£;'D~, by Dusseau RA [10], where D is Received 29 June 2022; Received ln revised frm 22 September 2022; Acepted 2 September 2022 ‘Avalable online 9 October 2022 2352-0124/6 2022 Intvson of Stractral Engineers.

(11) derived a formiala having the similar form with Billing end Green, from the limited experimental results, In parallel with the development of computer technology, numerical models have been frequently preferred in today’s natural frequency research, The finite element method and regression analysis are mostly used to derive the expressions. Since the natural bending frequency formla of single span bridge is frequently a starting point in new studies, its useful co mention it here. Biggs JM. [121 gives the formula below for determining the first natural frequency of simple supported @ ‘Where n, , Eland m are the mode number, span length, flexural rigidity of the beam, and mass per unit length, respectively. Barth and Wa (13] conducted a numerical study on the natural frequency ‘of composite Igirder bridges having uniform cross-section. A natural Frequency equation was proposed by using Eg, (1) in the regresion analysis based on 202 eases. More recently, Wodzinowski et al. (14) investigated the fre vibration of horizontally curved composite girder bridges, AS a result of the parametric study, the natural frequency ‘equation for mult-span and curved bridges was derived considering a total of 336 cases by using Fq, (1). Proposed equation includes the span length, curvature ratio, number of girders, gieder spacing, and span-o- depth ratio. However, the natural frequency of the mul span bridges ‘with varying span lengths were not mentioned in detail. Another nazu- ral frequency estimation of curved composite bridges was conducted bby Mohseni et al. [15]. The authors also proposed multiplication coefficient to Ee, (1) in order to estimate the natural frequency for simple and continues spans bridges, A detailed reviewr can be found in 111 [As can be seen from the literature, many studies have been con- ‘ducted to derive an expression for predieting the natural frequency for different types of bridges with uniform cross-sections. However, the bridges with variable cross-sections have not been given the necessary importance. The haunched cross-section is often used for continuous bridges, which leads toa significant reduction in the span moment (161 ‘This study aims to fll the gap in the free vibration solution of continu ‘ous bridges with variable cross section in the literature, To this end, ‘2 dlosed-form solution to the Sree vibration problem for continuous bridges with a straight haunch section was first presented. Then, a verified finite clement analysis (FEA) was performed to investigate the effects of a variety of geometries of straight hauneh sections, span ‘numbers, and span configurations on the natural frequency. Based on the FEA’ results, a rational and practical equation was proposed 10 predict the first bending natural frequeney using non-linear tegression analysis. The proposed equation can be used to quickly determine the deflection limit under service load, impact factor and compare the natural frequency of bridges modelled by design engineers for verification purposes 2, Formulation and closed-form solution of free vibration Considering a mult-span, non-uniform Bernoulli-Euler bear in which the cross-section of any part ofthe beam remains plane during ‘ending, the partial
