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 ...

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: 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: Triple-tower suspension bridges with two asymmetrical main spans can adapt to complicated terrain conditions. If the top and bottom main cables with different sags are used on the two main spans, the longitudinal constraint ...
