CREEP ANALYSIS AND TORSIONAL VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGES WITH TWO EDGE COMPOSITE GIRDERS

Non-Linear Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridges

he concept of cable-stayed bridges dates back to the seventeenth century. Due to their aesthetic appearance, efficient utilization of material, and availability of new construction technologies, cable-stayed bridges have gained much popularity in the last few decades. After successful construction of the Sutong Bridge, a number of bridges of this type have been proposed and are under constructi...

Geometric Nonlinear Analysis of Self-Anchored Cable-Stayed Suspension Bridges

Geometric nonlinearity of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges is studied in this paper. The repercussion of shrinkage and creep of concrete, rise-to-span ratio, and girder camber on the system is discussed. A self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge with a main span of 800 m is analyzed with linear theory, second-order theory, and nonlinear theory, respectively. In the condition o...

Three examples of flutter analysis of cable-stayed bridges

There are multiple configurations permitted for a cable stayed bridge such as the number of spans, tower shapes, and cable arrangements. Therefore it is always important to study the behaviour of these types of structures against strong winds so that aeroelastic instabilities do not appear. This paper contains detailed aeroelastic analyses of three cable stayed bridges of very different configu...
