Abstract: This study proposes a method for estimating the properties of concrete creep and the unstrained length of cable, by using measured displacements and cable tension forces, in a concrete cable-stayed structure over time. The ...

Abstract: The nonlinear behavior of cable-supported bridges is governed by the geometric nonlinearity of cables, which is attributable to sag and sliding effects at the saddle. In a cable-stayed bridge with a midspan saddle, and in ...
