Four-Cable-Plane Spatial Cable Stayed Bridge with Two-Amplitude Curved Deck for Canyon-River

Identification, Model Updating, and Validation of a Steel Twin Deck Curved Cable-Stayed Footbridge

To perform a realistic reliability analysis of a complex cable-stayed steel footbridge subject to natural hazard and corrosion, this article addresses a rational process of modeling and simulation based on identification, model updating, and validation. In particular, the object of this study is the Ponte del Mare footbridge located in Pescara, Italy; this bridge was selected as being a complex...

Advanced Cable Stayed Bridge Construction Process Analysis with ANSYS

Investigation on Deck-Stay Interaction of Symmetric Harp Cable-Stayed Bridge

This paper provides a variety of viewpoints to illustrate the mechanism of the deck-stay interaction with the appropriate initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges, which is validated by a symmetrical structure. Based on the smooth and convergent bridge shapes obtained by the initial shape analysis, the one-element cable system (OECS) and multi-element cable system (MECS) models of the symmetric h...

Online Deflection Monitoring System for Dafosi Cable-Stayed Bridge

A health monitoring system was designed and installed on Dafosi Bridge, the largest cable-stayed bridge across the Yangtze River in western China. This article briefly describes an online deflection monitoring system, the most important sensing subsystem of the health monitoring system. It can be divided into two major components, one for measurement, and one for control and data processing. Th...

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...
