Static Deformational Behaviors of Cable-Stayed Suspension Bridge and its Simplified Material Cost Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cable-stayed suspension bridge is an unconventional bridge type with a bridge typology based on the combination of both cable-stayed and suspension systems. In this paper, the static behaviors of cable-stayed suspension bridge were revealed from the viewpoint of the structural deformational characteristics under different kinds of live loads. To more clearly illustrate these characteristics, the simplified analytical method based on the simplified analytical solutions for cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges were adopted in the derivations. Furthermore, the simplified material cost model based on allowable stress method for cable-stayed suspension bridge was also proposed for researchers and designers to adopt in preliminary design stage.
