A Method to Optimize Composite Fore-Fulcrum Form Travelers in Single-Plane Cable-Stayed Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a method to optimize the composite fore-fulcrum form traveler which makes the traveler more reasonable and economical, and the method can be conveniently used by designers while designing form travelers for single-plane cable-stayed bridges using cantilever cast-in place construction method. After a general theoretical description (theory and process) of the optimization model, an engineering case is optimized using this method. And the method is proved feasible by analyzing the primary and optimized travelers in Midas Civil and comparing their properties.
