Abstract: Triple-cable design of suspension bridges with an ultrawide main girder can improve their mechanical properties, making it lucrative for numerous engineering scenarios. However, its realization requires assigning an ...

Abstract: Wind-resistant rope systems (WRRS) consisting of wind guys (WGs) and ties are

Abstract: Finding the main cable shape is an essential step in the design and construction of suspension bridges. In this paper, shape-finding and force-assessment of suspension bridges based on loop adjustment are proposed and ...

Abstract: Integral components of suspension bridges are anchor spans, consisting of separate strands splayed from the main cable between the splay saddle and the front anchor plane. The main cable is separated into several strands ...

Abstract: Long-span suspension bridge is a flexible structure. When subjected to a horizontal transverse live load, its deck undergoes significant transverse bending deformation, jeopardizing traffic safety. This paper proposes an ...

Abstract: With the appearance of large-span and heavy-duty high-speed railway suspension bridges, their deck deflections and deck-end rotation angles (DERA) under the live load became very topical indicators of bridge safety and ...

Abstract: Three-pylon suspension bridges with unequal main-span lengths are terrain-adaptive, and this feature makes them suitable for broad applications. However, the design and construction control of such bridges requires an ...
