Cable Stayed Bridges

Based on the mechanics characteristics of partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge, the criterion of reasonable finished dead state was presented. The effect factors considered include: the distribution of cable force, the inner force of girder and tower, the dimension of earth-anchor, and the displacement of tower top. Combined with methods to determine cable force of traditional self-anchored cable-stayed bridges in reasonable completed status, a two-stage method was used to find the cable force of these bridges which was divided into finding the initial cable force with rigid supported continuous beam method and then fix on the final optimized cable force in the reasonable completed status through adjusting the initial cable force in first stage with influence matrix method. And the adjustment process of cable force in secondary stage was proposed based on the mechanics characteristics of these bridges. Finally, a calculation was carried out for a partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge with 1218m main span and composite beam. The result shows that this method was logical, practical convenient and efficient. And the cable force in the reasonable completed status of bridges can be obtained faster according to the adjustment process of cable force in secondary stage.

Cable Stayed Bridges

Geometric nonlinearity (GN) and initial internal forces (IIFs) are the basic characteristics of cable-stayed bridges, but now there is no effective method for analyzing the effect of them on bridge-track interaction of continuous welded rail (CWR) on cable-stayed bridge. A method for reconstructing the displacement-force curve of ballast longitudinal resistance was put forward according to the deformation of cable-stayed bridges under the completed bridge state. A feasibility study on the method was conducted via two aspects of the force and deformation of CWR on a 5 × 40 m single-line simple-supported beam bridge with initial deformation. With the multi-element modeling method and the updated Lagrangian formulation method, a rail-beam-cable-tower 3D calculation model considering the GN and IIFs of cable-stayed bridge was established. Taking a (140 + 462 + 1092 + 462 + 140 m) twin-tower cable-stayed bridge as an example, the impacts of GN and IIFs on bridge-track interaction were comparatively analyzed. The results show that the method put forward to reconstruct ballast longitudinal resistance can prevent the impact of initial deformation of bridge and makes it possible to consider the effect of IIFs of cable-stayed bridge on bridge-track interaction. The GN and IIFs play important roles in the calculation of rail longitudinal force due to vertical bending of bridge deck under train load and the variance of cable force due to negative temperature changes in bridge decks and rails with rail breaking, and the two factors can reduce rail longitudinal force and variance of cable force by 11.8% and 14.6%, respectively. The cable-stayed bridge can be simplified as a continuous beam bridge with different constraints at different locations, when rail longitudinal force due to positive temperature changes in bridge deck and train braking is calculated.

In order to determine every rational construction state and obtain perfect finished dead state of the cable-stayed bridge, a quadratic programming model for optimizing cable tension was put forward. The adjustment of multi-object control parameters was achieved by using the weighting coefficient in the optimization model. In the optimization calculation of a cable-stayed bridge, the forward-calculating method was used and the results show that mechanics concept of this method is definite, the rate of convergence is fast and some disadvantages of other methods are avoided.

Cable Stayed Bridges

The aim of this paper is to investigate the time-varying effect of stay cable of long-span cable-stayed bridges subject to vehicle load. The analysis has been carried out on the Su-Tong cable-stayed bridge in Jiangsu, China that has the second-longest span among the completed composite-deck cable-stayed bridges in the world currently. Probability models of vehicle load in each lane (fast lane, middle lane and slow lane) and cable stress under random vehicle load were developed based on the stochastic process theory. The results show the gross vehicle weight follows lognormal distribution or multi-peak distribution, and the time-interval of the vehicle follows a lognormal distribution. Then, the probability function of maximum cable stress was determined using up-crossing theory. Finally, the reliability of stay cable under random vehicle load was analysed. The reliability index ranges from 9.59 to 10.82 that satisfies the target reliability index of highway bridge structure of finished dead state.

Optimum design for a cable-stayed bridge structure is very complicated because of large number of design variables. Use of ANSYS parametric design language in optimizing such structure consumes little computational time. The finished dead state analysis for single pylon double cable plane cable-stayed bridge with 120m long is performed. Mechanics equivalent are developed for the main pylon with concrete-filled steel tube. Prestress girder finite element model is established also. The theory of minimum bending strain energy is used in deriving the objective function as the quadratic form of the post-tensioning cable forces. In addition, the maximum deflection of the pylon and the maximum stresses of the main girder are both implemented in the optimization model. Optimized cable forces are found by optimization. Calculated results show that after the optimization, the cable force slightly changes, yet the internal force state under dead load remarkably improves, the bending stress of girder as well as the deflection of pylon significantly decreases. All these variations are satisfied for the limit value of engineering code. The results obtained revealed that the method presented indeed leads to optimal structural performance for the cable-stayed bridge in particular, and might be a useful reference for the design of other similar bridges.

AbstractMany researchers have carried out experimental and numerical investigations to examine building structures’ response to explosive loads. Studies of bridges subjected to blast loads are limited. Hence, in this study, we present a case study on a cable-stayed bridge, namely, Charles River Cable-Stayed Bridge-Boston, to assess its robustness and resistance against the progressive collapse resulting from localized failure due to blast loads. Three different blast scenarios are considered to interpret the bridge performance to blast loads. To monitor the progressive failure mechanisms of the structural elements due to blast, pre-defined plastic hinges are assigned to the bridge deck. The results conclude that the bridge is too weak to sustain the blast loads near the tower location, and the progressive collapse is inevitable. Hence, to preserve this cable-stayed bridge from local and global failure, structural components should be more reinforced near the tower location. This case study helps the designer better understand the need for blast resistance design of cable-stayed bridges.

There exist evident shear-lag phenomena in large-span composite cable-stayed bridges under the action of axial force, especially in the deck with double main girders. In order to discuss the distribution law of the effective flange width coefficient along the span, caused by axial force, finite element computations of five composite cable-stayed bridges and theoretical analysis have been performed. The transmission angle of axial force caused by the axial compression of stay cables was given, meanwhile the formulas for computation effective slab width coefficient under axial force were suggested.

<p>Cable forces are primary factors influencing the design of a cable-stayed bridge. A fast and practical method for cable force estimation is proposed in this paper. For this purpose, five input parameters representing the main characteristics of a cable-stayed bridge and two output parameters representing the cable forces in two key construction stages are defined. Twenty different representative cable-stayed bridges are selected for further prediction. The cable forces are carefully optimized through finite element analysis. Then, discrete and fuzzy processing is applied in data processing to improve their reliability and practicality. Finally, based on the input parameters of a target bridge, the maximum possible output parameters are calculated by Bayes estimation based on the processed data. The calculation results show that the average prediction error of this method is less than 1% for the twenty bridges themselves, which provide the primary data and less than 3% for an under-construction bridge.</p>

Cable Stayed Bridges

Based on the stiffness limitations of the midtower in multitower cable-stayed bridges, a new stiffening system (tie-down cables) is proposed in this paper. The sag effects and wind-induced responses can be reduced with the proposed system because tie-down cables are short and aesthetic compared with traditional stiffening cables. The results show that the stiffening effect of tie-down cables is better than that of traditional stiffening cables in controlling the displacement and internal force of the bridge based on a static experiment and finite element analysis. Therefore, the proposed system can greatly improve the overall stiffness of a bridge, and its stiffening effect is better than that of traditional stiffening cables in controlling the displacement and internal force. The results provide a reference for the application of such systems in practical engineering.
