This paper presents the results of the first real application, over one cable-stayed bridge, of a research under improvement since 2000 and presents the results of the monitoring of dynamic behavior under traffic load of Hawkshaw Cable-stayed Bridge, in New Brunswick, Canada. This bridge has 2 lanes, with total length of 301.20 m and its main span of 217.32 m is supported by two towers of 36 m ...

The paper summarizes the results of recent ambient vibration tests and operational modal analyses carried out on the new curved cable-stayed bridge erected in the Commercial Harbour of Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy). The ambient vibration tests were carried out as a part of the reception tests of the bridge before its opening and included the recordings of the system response in selected points...

In recent decades, the demand for complex and economical engineering structures with great aesthetics has been on rise cable stayed bridges also take their share of this interest. Besides many advantages cable-stayed are quite flexible, hence susceptible mainly to dynamic actions such as impact loads, wind effects seismic excitations. context, study focused effect A H shape reinforced concrete ...

Based on space temperature field test in solid tower of extradosed cable-stayed bridge, the method to calculate the space temperature field in solid concrete bridge tower is put forward systematically. By defining a series of meteorological parameters and concrete thermal parameters, the bridge tower temperature distribution is gotten. Compared with the experimental data, error is found within ...
