Erection of Cable-Suspended Bridges
The ease of erection of suspension bridges is a major factor in their use for long spans. Once the main cables are in position, they furnish a stable working base …

Seismic Analysis of Cable-Suspended Structures
For short-span structures (under about 500 ft) it is commonly assumed in seismic analysis that the same ground motion acts simultaneously throughout the length of the structure. In other words, the …
Aerodynamic Analysis of Cable-Suspended Bridges
The wind-induced failure on November 7, 1940, of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the state of Washington shocked the engineering profession. Many were surprised to learn that failure of bridges as …
Preliminary Design of Cable-Stayed Bridges
In general, the height of a pylon in a cable-stayed bridge is about 1â„6 to 1â„8 the main span. Depth of stayed girder ranges from 1â„60 to 1â„80 the …
Cable-Stayed Bridge Analysis
The static behavior of a cable-stayed girder can best be gaged from the simple, two-span example of Fig. 15.54. The girder is supported by one stay cable in each span, …
