DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGES USING MOMENTUM SEARCH ALGORITHM

Design optimization of cable-stayed bridges is a challenging optimization problem because a large number of variables is usually involved in the optimization process. For these structures the design variables are cross-sectional areas of the cables. In this study, an efficient metaheuristic algorithm namely, momentum search algorithm (MSA) is used to optimize the design of cable-stayed bridges....

STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE DESIGN

Wind loads analysis at the anchorages of the Talavera de la Reina cable stayed bridge

Introduction Cable stayed bridges are a feasible choice for middle length spans and can be also an alternative to suspension bridges in the range of 1000 m spans. In the last three years, cable stayed bridges having more than 1 km span have been built in China (Sutong Bridge, 1088 m and Stonecutters Bridge, 1018 km). The increasing in length implies higher aeroelastic interaction with wind acti...

A New Multiconstraint Method for Determining the Optimal Cable Stresses in Cable-Stayed Bridges

Cable-stayed bridges are one of the most popular types of long-span bridges. The structural behaviour of cable-stayed bridges is sensitive to the load distribution between the girder, pylons, and cables. The determination of pretensioning cable stresses is critical in the cable-stayed bridge design procedure. By finding the optimum stresses in cables, the load and moment distribution of the bri...
