FATIGUE OF CABLE ANCHORAGE OF LARGE CABLE STAYED BRIDGE

Health Condition Evaluation of Cable-Stayed Bridge Driven by Dissimilarity Measures of Grouped Cable Forces

An index system for the health-status evaluation of cable-stayed bridges is presented based on a set of dissimilarity measures (abbr. DM) of the cable force of grouped cables. The DMs and its corresponding health status labels derived by the serviceability limit states of a bridge are determined by the combination of the finite element method and the influence matrix method. The Monte-Carlo met...

Conceptual design of cable stayed pedestrian bridge at Taunton , Somerset

This paper intends to describe the conceptual design of a Cable Stayed Bridge at Taunton, Somerset, United Kingdom. The development of the detailed design and the critical issues associated with the aerodynamic effects, fatigue effect on cable stays, layout of cable stays, deck and pylon of the cable stayed bridge have been briefly discussed. The design aimed to meet the Client’s requirement of...

STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE DESIGN

Cable optimization of a long span cable stayed bridge in La Coruña (Spain)

This document describes an optimization problem of cable cross section of a cable stayed bridge considering constraints of cable stress and deck displacement. Since the bridge is still in study phase, the geometry and the mechanical characteristics are subjected to changes. In order to avoid creating different structural models, a program was produced to construct a model from geometrical and m...
