Abstract: During suspension bridge erection, tensions in its anchor span strands undergo continuous changes until the completed bridge state is attained. Calculating the precise tension values in the anchor span strands is critical ...

Abstract: The rectangular pipe jacking method, as a new type of shallow tunnel excavation technology, is increasingly widely used in practical engineering due to its advantages of higher space utilization and fewer impacts on the ...

Abstract: The stiffness of suspension bridges, which are flexible systems composed of main cables and stiffening beams, is frequently increased by adding one or more pairs of central buckles in the midspan. This study examined a ...
