Cable Stayed Bridges

At the beginning of the 21st century, Su-tong and Stonecutters cable-stayed bridges were born into the world, which make the original span record of 890m up to 1088m. The increasing range of the span is so large that it is necessary to carry out a special research on structural system of the cable-stayed bridge with kilometer-scale span. Therefore, two cable-stayed bridges have been designed as the research objects, which come from the background of Su-tong cable-stayed bridge. And the main span is respectively 1308m and 1500m. In this paper, an analysis is carried out from the aspect of girder-tower relationship which comes from the concept of the structural system. In the static analysis, structural system, which is respectively floating, half floating and rigid, has been studied. And in the dynamic analysis, the girder-tower relationship has also been studied, which is respectively with no dampers, elastic links and viscous dampers. Based on the analysis results, structural system applicable for kilometer-scale cable-stayed bridges is summarized.

Cable Stayed Bridges

To investigate the effectiveness of viscous damper on seismic control of single-tower cable-stayed bridges subjected to near-field ground motions, a 1/20-scale full cable-stayed bridge model was designed, constructed and tested on shake tables. A typical far-field ground motion and a near-field one were used to excite the bridge model from low to high intensity. The seismic responses of the bridge model with and without viscous dampers were analyzed and compared. Both numerical and test results revealed that viscous dampers are quite effective in controlling deck displacement of cable-stayed bridges subjected to near-field ground motions. However, due to near-field effects, viscous damper dissipated most energy through one large hysteresis loop, extensively increasing the deformation and damping force demand of the damper. Further study based on numerical analysis reveals that to optimize deck displacement of cable-stayed bridges during an earthquake, a viscous damper with relatively larger damping coefficient should be introduced under near-field ground motions than far-field ones.

Bridge System

Abstract Recent developments in the social sphere also cause an increase in transportation activities. Increased transport activities lead to the construction of new roads and bridges. Different bridge construction systems are available to overcome large span obstacles. Cable-stayed bridges are more advantageous construction systems than other bridge type building carrier systems in overcoming large spans through suspension cables. Therefore, it is also widely preferred by designers. The biggest factor in the development of cable-stayed bridges is undoubtedly steel cables. Cable-stayed bridges are bridge structures that become lighter with the increase of the span, which has a more expanded flexibility, and that includes a cable system with the effect of nonlinear factors. Costs of cable-stayed bridges vary according to different spans. The span as well as the deck material used in the bridge system have a great effect on the cost. In cable-stayed bridge systems, decks are constructed of reinforced concrete and steel. The costs of cable-stayed bridges are widely discussed around the world; therefore, the effect of the span and deck material on the cost of cable-stayed bridges is being investigated. The main bearing elements of such bridges are cables, decks, and towers, and among these elements, the tower bridge carries all the weight of the bridge, even other external loads such as vehicle, wind, etc. In this study, the three-dimensional model of the cable, deck and tower elements that make up the cable-stayed bridge system was created and analysed using the CSI Bridge Program. The AASHTO LRFD Standards, which are widely used in the analysis of bridge systems with the CSI Bridge program and the design of bridge systems in the world, were used. In the study, the analysis and designs of cable-stayed bridges with reinforced concrete and steel deck at 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000 meters span were carried out. The amount of materials and costs used in the analysis and design of the cable-stayed bridge systems were obtained and the results were interpreted.

Cable Stayed Bridges

Floating or semi-floating systems are usually employed for long-span cable-stayed bridges to lengthen their fundamental periods, and accordingly, to reduce their seismic inertial force, but the structures’ seismic displacements could be increased by utilizing these systems. Taking Yong-jiang railway cable-stayed bridge which has a low center of gravity as engineering background, the function of viscous dampers in controlling seismic displacements is studied. Firstly, the rational parameters of dampers are determined by parametric analysis, and then the seismic displacements and forces of the bridge, utilizing and un-utilizing viscous dampers, are compared. The results show that: viscous dampers are efficient in controlling seismic displacements of the bridge; the seismic shear forces at the bottom of towers are reduced slightly and the corresponding moments are reduced in a larger extent for cable-stayed bridge with low center of gravity.

Cable Stayed Bridges

This paper presents a new morphology of a cable-staying system for an under-deck cable-stayed bridge. The computational method proposed in the paper has been derived for a one-strut conventional cable staying system and applied for an unconventional double-level cable-staying system. The paper describes an algorithm for the correct implementation of the interaction between the cable-staying system and the deck. The numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed computational method based on a non-linear analysis of a simply supported and additionally restrained beam-column can be used for obtaining deformation response to the considered structure. An analysis of the same problem using finite element (FE) software ANSYS was carried out to present the accuracy of the proposed method. The paper also demonstrates comparison analysis between the conventional and unconventional structural schemes for the under-deck cable-stayed bridge under symmetric and asymmetric loading.

Cable Stayed Bridges

In the world of Civil Engineering, bridges are an example of structural art expressing how much the structures have evolved till present times. The concept and design of bridges has been evolved over the past years, having numerous amounts of different geometrical models and methods to construct bridges. As the development and innovation has reached so far, the concept of bridges has made a great impact on global infrastructure by creating sustainable, effective, and aesthetical bridges around the world. development of the finest aesthetical and sustainable designs for bridges which are known as Cable Stayed BridgesThe bridge form in which the weight of the deck is supported by a number of nearly straight diagonal cables in tension running directly to one or more vertical towers. The towers transfer the cable forces to the foundations through vertical compression. The tensile forces in the cables also put the deck into horizontal compression. Cable stayed bridges are the types of bridges those are best suited for connecting wide-span crossings. Construction of cable stayed bridge is widely promoted all over the world and construction of more than 600 cable stayed bridges are recorded till date. This type of bridge is preferred over any other type due to its possible construction to the indefinite length, availability of multiple design options with the possibility of symmetrical design and excellent strength. In this paper we shall discuss numerous case studies of the cable stayed bridges, compile all the beneficial data for most of the cable stayed bridges located in India.

Tension rocker bearing (TRB) cables installed at auxiliary piers were critical members to sustain the structural system in a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge. Once these cables fractured or broken, its structural system would be transferred. Based on diseases caused by fracture of TRB cables in Yonghe Bridge, corresponding maintenance or strengthening measures were described in detail. These measures included replacement of TRB cables, strengthening of the closure segment of main girder at each side span, and adjustment of stay cable forces. Monitoring results showed that, its structural system was finally and completely rehabilitated, and the safety factor of new TRB cables is enough under the most unfavorable load combination. Moreover, the line shape of main girder and the inclined displacement at the top of each pylon were improved effectively. Thus, Yonghe Bridge accumulated some valuable experience for maintenance or strengthening of existing prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridges, and also made a useful exploration.

In this paper, we consider a linear static analysis of cable-stayed bridges with different pylon shapes under their own weight. The cable-stayed bridge is one of the modern bridges that are built to cover large spans. It is therefore necessary to study the behavior of the pylons before you can apply it in practice. For this study, different pylon shapes are compared with the size of the bridge span, while other parameters remain unchanged. The various forms of pylons considered for a cable-stayed bridge are diamond, small diamond, Y-inverted, A, H and U-shaped. The height of the pylon remains the same for all cable-stayed bridge models with different pylon shapes. The bridge simulation was prepared using the Midas/Civil software. For this study, the semi-fan type cable-stayed bridge was adopted. The study gives the deformed state of the pylons, i.e. bending moments, transverse and longitudinal forces, and deflections. This study will be useful for selecting the shape of the pylon for the bridge used in specific conditions.

Based on mechanical properties of railway extradosed cable-stayed bridge with the rigid continuous beam system in the high-intensity earthquake zone, three kinds of scheme on seismic response reduction including viscous dampers, lock-up device and friction sliding bearings is presented in the text and effectiveness of seismic response reduction is analyzed by using non-linear time history response analysis . The results show that three types of isolation devices are significantly effective for improving seismic performance of the railway extradosed cable-stayed bridge. Seismic response reduction of viscous damper and Lock-up device is better, that of friction sliding bearing is second. but the type of viscous dampers is most optimal considering from normal use for structure and distribution of the seismic response in the structural system.
