Parametric Study of Cable Deflection and Gravity Stiffness of Cable-Stayed Suspension Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper carries out the parameter analysis on the cable deflections and gravity stiffness of cable-stayed suspension bridge. Previous studies have given the formulas of cable deflections and gravity stiffness. According to these formulas, the three significant parameters were examined: rise-span ratio, concentrated load and the ratio of cable-stayed length to whole span. The result indicates when reasonable parameters are selected, the gravity stiffness of cable-stayed suspension bridge is improved greatly.
