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

Investigation of Wagon Derailment Moving on Random Rail Irregularities using Nonlinear 3-Dimentional Model (RESEARCH NOTE)

Rail irregularity is one of the most effective factors in train derailment. theste irregularities have generally random distribution that are assumed to be stationary random and ergodic processes in space, with Gaussian amplitude probabiliy densities and zero mean values. The quality of irregularities, their distribution along the rails and wagon speed are the main factors for train derailment ...

Investigation on Deck-Stay Interaction of Symmetric Harp Cable-Stayed Bridge

This paper provides a variety of viewpoints to illustrate the mechanism of the deck-stay interaction with the appropriate initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges, which is validated by a symmetrical structure. Based on the smooth and convergent bridge shapes obtained by the initial shape analysis, the one-element cable system (OECS) and multi-element cable system (MECS) models of the symmetric h...

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...

STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE DESIGN

Construction of Nagisa Bridge Hybrid System of Cable-stayed Pc Bridge and Steel Suspension Bridge

Nagisa Bridge, a single span footbridge, was recently completed in Aomori prefecture, Japan. The structure of this bridge is a hybrid structure of cable-stayed prestressed concrete bridge and steel suspension bridge. It is the first application as this structure type of bridge in the world. Concrete girders near pylons are supported by stay cables. Steel girders are supported by suspension cabl...
