DEVELOPMENT OF INSPECTION RECORD SYSTEM MOUNTED ON A CABLE INSPECTION ROBOT FOR CABLE-STAYED BRIDGES

A Novel Method of Autonomous Inspection for Transmission Line based on Cable Inspection Robot LiDAR Data

With the growth of the national economy, there is increasing demand for electricity, which forces transmission line corridors to become structurally complicated and extend to complex environments (e.g., mountains, forests). It is a great challenge to inspect transmission line in these regions. To address these difficulties, a novel method of autonomous inspection for transmission line is propos...

Construction and Design of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Motion Based Design of Cable-Stayed Bridges

Recent increases in limit spans of cable-stayed bridges have highlighted the need for new concepts in analysis and design. The increased flexibility requires more theoretical studies on non-linear behavior and on dynamic analysis. Design also is more oriented to a performance-based approach: motion control is more important than strength analysis. My main objective is to define what are the par...

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...

Structural Design of Cable-stayed Bridges

Cable-stayed bridges are extremely elegant and very effective structures and they are also architectural landmarks. The combination of multiple simple systems allows for a structure where the role of each of its components is well defined. When a cable-stayed bridge is chosen, the initial design phase is of utmost importance. The characteristics of the structure and whether if it is mainly cons...
