Abstract: An improved continuum model of three-span suspension bridges has been developed to study the effects of hanger extensibility on free vertical vibrations. This model can be applied to both hinged and continuous girders. To ...

Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional inclined parabolic cable element for static analysis of cable structures. After a catenary cable element is briefly reviewed, the three dimensional parabolic cable considered in this ...
