Abstract-Thispaper evaluates the seismic behavior of three different cable-stayed bridge types. The three types of cable-stayed bridge (fan, semi-harp and harp) have been modeled in a finite element computer program and analyzed with the nonlinear static method. The main purpose of this work is controlling the displacement of the top point of the bridge's tower. The natural period and the maximumdisplacement of these three bridge types are compared. In addition, the models are compared for two different loading patterns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
