Abstract:In the cable stayed-bridges, sudden loss of cables is usually associated with material as well as geometrical non-linearities that may trigger progressive collapse of the entire bridge.
Accordingly, in this paper detailed 3D fi nite element models of a hypothetical cable-stayed bridge is developed and analysed with material and geometrical non-linearities included. A parametric study is undertaken and effect of cable loss scenarios (symmetric and unsymmetric), deck confi gurations (steel box girder and open or… Show more
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.
