Application of Quadratic Programming Method to Cable Force Calculation of Cable Erection Arch Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taking the bare arch deformation under gravity as target alignment, the influence matrix that associates the cable forces with segment deformation is obtained via ANSYS program, and the cable force is quickly calculated by MATLAB quadratic programming toolbox. It is illustrated with an example of Guizhou Zong-xi River Bridge, which is a 360-meter concrete filled steel tube bridge in construction, and the calculation process is given. The results show that, this new method has the advantages of high precision and less number of iterations.
