Computer Analysis and Design of Cable-Stayed Bridge Structures Having Prestressed Post-Tensioned Concrete Segmental Box-Girders. Volume 1. Theory

摘要

Volume 1 is a comprehensive document on cable-stayed bridge structures. A discussion of the different configurations including decks, towers, and span arrangements appears with detailed recommendations on segmental construction techniques with emphasis on the balanced cantilever method of erection. Comments on materials used for cable-stayed bridges with emphasis on prestressed post-tensioned concrete and high strength steel cables are offered. An analysis method for the solution of highly redundant cable-stayed systems with emphasis on both 2 and 3 dimensional stiffness analysis is presented. Fundamental principals of the finite element method and structural dynamics are covered. Recommendations for future research, wind tunnel model simulation and a list of references is also included.
