Wavelet-Based Nonstationary Wind Speed Model in Dongting Lake Cable-Stayed Bridge

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...

Feasibility Study of Micro-Wind Turbines for Powering Wireless Sensors on a Cable-Stayed Bridge

In this study, the feasibility of using micro-wind turbines to power wireless sensors on a cable-stayed bridge is comprehensively investigated. To this end, the wind environment around a bridge onto which a turbine is installed is examined, as is the power consumption of a wireless sensor. Feasible alternators and rotors are then carefully selected to make an effective small wind generator (kno...

Advanced Cable Stayed Bridge Construction Process Analysis with ANSYS

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...
