Abstract: In cable-stayed bridges, a cross-tie solution is considered an effective measure to enhance the in-plane stiffness of main cables while the damping increment of main cables is achieved by installing dampers on the main ...

Abstract: Stay cables on cable-stayed bridges are inherently low-damped flexible structural members. In order to improve their energy-dissipating capacities, external dampers are installed to control undesired cable vibrations. ...

Abstract: Using crossties to connect a cable which has experienced or is prone to violent motions with its neighbors and form a cable network has been successfully applied to a number of cable-stayed bridges to control stay cable ...

Abstract: Stay cables in cable-stayed bridges are susceptible to vibrations due to their inherent flexibility and low damping. Different countermeasures to control such vibrations have been extensively researched as well as implemented ...
