As the floating type cable-stayed bridge has no longitudinal constraint between the main girder and the pylon, it may cause the main girder a large longitudinal displacement and the root of tower a large longitudinal bending moment, and affect the normal use and safety of the bridge under the earthquake or the train braking. It is an important part of the design to select an appropriate vibration control scheme. Taking a long-span railway bridge for example, this paper build the finite element model and analyses the damping effect in the view of train braking, moreover, the present study also examines the dynamic behavior with focus on two parameters of damping coefficient C and damping exponent αof the viscous dampers through dynamic time-history analysis. The results show that setting viscous dampers with the reasonable parameters can reduce the vibration and the response of the bridge by train braking and have a good energy dissipation effect.

In order to present the collapse process and failure mechanism of long-span cable-stayed bridges under strong seismic excitations, a rail-cum-road steel truss cable-stayed bridge was selected as engineering background, the collapse failure numerical model of the cable-stayed bridge was established based on the explicit dynamic finite element method (FEM), and the whole collapse process of the cable-stayed bridge was analyzed and studied with three different seismic waves acted in the horizontal longitudinal direction, respectively. It can be found from the numerical simulation analysis that the whole collapse failure process and failure modes of the cable-stayed bridge under three different seismic waves are similar. Furthermore, the piers and the main pylons are critical components contributing to the collapse of the cable-stayed bridge structure. However, the cables and the main girder are damaged owing to the failure of piers and main pylons during the whole structure collapse process, so the failure of cable and main girder components is not the main reason for the collapse of cable-stayed bridge. The analysis results can provide theoretical basis for collapse resistance design and the determination of critical damage components of long-span highway and railway cable-stayed bridges in the research of seismic vulnerability analysis.

The fabrication and erection of cable-stayed bridges involve major changes in structure configuration through the addition and removal of structure components. In every stage of the construction process, adequate information on the constructed structure is important to determine the real structure situation for the analysis of errors and to verify construction requirements. The ultimate goals are to meet construction needs and identify the effects of modification in subsequent construction procedures. The final configuration of the structure is strongly dependent on the construction and fabrication procedures. In this regard, developing an FEA model to simulate the actual construction processes is necessary to determine the performance of a bridge under external loads. In this study, a general methodology for construction processes is presented to simulate a cable-stayed bridge. The stage-by-stage construction of the Sutong Bridge is simulated with ANSYS software package. The tensions of cables are realized with ANSYS parametric design language, element birth and death function, and mutliframe restart function. The objective of the construction stage simulation is to identify stresses and deformations of the steel box girder and the concrete towers, as well as the cable tension stress, to meet the design requirements. Results of the construction stage analysis showed that the temperature method could simulate the adjustment of the inclined cable force successfully, and the global stiffness of the Sutong Bridge was very small before closure. These findings served as the initial data for a dynamic research on the Sutong cable-stayed bridge.

Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge, with a main span of 818m, is another long span hybrid girder cable-stayed bridge which connects Jiang Xi province and Hu Bei province in China. Steel box girder is adopted in main span and north side span, and main girder of south side span and south tower nearby is designed of concrete box girder. The pylon is concrete structure, with the height of 242.3m and H-shape. There are 216 cables used in this bridge, of which are assembled by parallel strands. Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge began to construct in 2009, and was closed in December, 2012. The bridge opened to traffic officially in the next year. Design concept, construction method and vibration control measures about Jiu-Jiang Yangtze River Highway Bridge are introduced in this article.

It is introduced that three main factors cause geometric nonlinear effects of long span cable-stayed bridge: large displacement effect, cable sag effect, and the combination of bending moment and axial force effect. The iteration method of geometrical nonlinear problem is also introduced. The bridge deformation was calculated by establishing a plane truss finite element model of a long-span single tower cable-stayed bridge under consideration of nonlinearity and compared with that done with linear method. It is concluded that nonlinearity influenced differently to the bending moment of main girder, the displacement of tower root and the vertical displacement of girder.

Based on the health monitoring system installed on the main span of Sutong Cable-Stayed Bridge, GPS displacement and wind field are real-time monitored and analyzed. According to analytical results, apparent nonlinear correlation with certain discreteness exists between lateral static girder displacement and lateral static wind velocity; thus time series of lateral static girder displacement are decomposed into nonlinear correlation term and discreteness term, nonlinear correlation term of which is mathematically modeled by third-order Fourier series with intervention of lateral static wind velocity and discreteness term of which is mathematically modeled by the combined models of ARMA(7,4)and EGARCH(2,1). Additionally, stable power spectrum density exists in time series of lateral dynamic girder displacement, which can be well described by the fourth-order Gaussian series; thus time series of lateral dynamic girder displacement are mathematically modeled by harmonic superposition function. By comparison and verification between simulative and monitoring lateral girder displacements from September 1 to September 3, the presented mathematical models are effective to simulate time series of lateral girder displacement from main girder of Sutong Cable-Stayed Bridge.
