Construction and Design of Cable-Stayed Bridges

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....

Non-Linear Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridges

he concept of cable-stayed bridges dates back to the seventeenth century. Due to their aesthetic appearance, efficient utilization of material, and availability of new construction technologies, cable-stayed bridges have gained much popularity in the last few decades. After successful construction of the Sutong Bridge, a number of bridges of this type have been proposed and are under constructi...

Development of extradosed structures in the bridge construction

Extradosed bridges are similar to cable-stayed bridges in that stay cables are used for strengthening. Mter introducing the concept of extradosed bridges by J. Mathivat, this new type of bridges have been constructed in Japan. This paper shows some examples and the difference between extradosed and cable-stayed bridges in a structural aspect.
