The Simplified Analysis of the Asymmetric Single-Pylon Suspension Bridge With Rigid Cables

“…The structures of suspension bridges are characterized by the high effectiveness of overlapping large spans and exceptional architectural expression (Gimsing & Georgakis, 2012;Ryall et al, 2000;Troyano, 2003). The main drawback of analogous bridges includes excessive deformation due to the displacement of kinematic origin and is greatly affected by asymmetric loading (Kiisa et al, 2012;Kulbach, 2007;Sandovič et al, 2011). Thus, a sufficient variety of structural measures have been proposed to reduce the occurring kinematic displacements (Juozapaitis et al, 2015;Goremkins et al, 2012;Jennings, 1987;Strasky, 2005).…”

The Application of the Finite Element Method for Static Behaviour Analysis of the Asymmetrical One-Pylon Suspension Bridge Built-in Bending Cables of Different Rigidity

“…The structures of suspended bridges are effective from the technical and economic points of view and have an expressive architectural form (Gimsing & Georgakis, 2012;Troyano, 2003;Ryall, Parke, & Harding, 2000;Bennet, 1997). The increased strain, particularly under the action of asymmetrical loading, is the main drawback of such bridges (Kiisa, Idnurm, & Idnurm, 2012;Kulbach, 2007;Juozapaitis & Norkus, 2007). Thus, to reduce the occurring kinematic displacements, a sufficient variety of structural measures have been proposed (Jennings, 1987;Strasky, 2005).…”
