Optimum design of a controlled cable stayed bridge subject to earthquakes

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...

Seismic Time History Analysis for Cable-Stayed Bridge Considering Different Geometrical Configuration For Near Field Earthquakes

To increase the maximum span of cable-stayed bridges, Uwe Starossek has developed a modified statical system. The basic idea of this new concept is the use of pairs of inclined pylon legs that spread out longitudinally from the foundation base or from the girder level. Spread-pylon cable-stayed bridge has distinct advantage like reduction of sag of cables and oscillation of cable during earthqu...

Investigation of Wagon Derailment Moving on Cable-Stayed Bridge Due to Rail Irregularities

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....
