During the structural analysis of cable-stayed bridges, some specific problems arise that are
not common in other types of bridges. One of these problem is the derivation of an optimal …

An analytical model for the nonlinear and time-dependent analysis of segmentally
constructed three dimensional concrete frames is presented. The structural effects of the …

Long-term deflections, especially in cracked and slender R/C flexural members, may cause
delayed damage in non-structural elements, so they must be accurately estimated at the …

Segmentally constructed concrete cantilever bridges often exhibit larger deflections than
those predicted by the design calculations. The slender and long spans in combination with …

This paper presents an optimization algorithm to compute the prestressing forces on
concrete cable-stayed bridges to achieve the desired final geometry. The structural analysis …

The design of cable-stayed bridges involves a significant number of design variables and
design objectives. The concrete cable-stayed bridge optimization is formulated here as a …

Differential distortion comprising axial shortening and consequent rotation in concrete
buildings is caused by the time dependent effects of “shrinkage”,“creep” and “elastic” …

The aim of this study is to analyse the concrete continuous box girder bridges by considering
segmentally construction stages through balanced cantilever method. Time-dependent …

Inclined cracks that take place in reinforced concrete elements due to tangential internal
forces, such as shear and torsion, produce a non-isotropic response on the structure in the …

Traditionally the construction process of cable-stayed bridges is modeled according to the
backward approach, as its calculation is much easier using an elastic analysis. In this …
